Party identification and service delivery protests in the Eastern Cape and Northern Cape, South Africa

Vol. 21 · 2017 N°2 Revue africaine de sociologie ASR

Résumé

Les manifestations de prestation de services contre les municipalités d’Afrique du Sud sont
devenues courantes. Cet article traite de la relation entre l’identification des partis et ces
protestations. Il présente une analyse approfondie de deux études de cas qualitatives: une dans
la province du Cap oriental, où les manifestations ont principalement porté sur la pénurie et
la mauvaise qualité des logements, et une autre dans le Northern Cape, où les manifestations
visaient principalement à obtenir le maire démissionner. Une opinion largement répandue
dans la littérature sur le mouvement social est que plus l’identification avec le parti au pouvoir est forte, moins les gens sont susceptibles de protester, même quand ils ont des raisons de le faire.
En Afrique du Sud, le lien entre l’appartenance à un parti et le mouvement social est flou. Nous
avons constaté que les manifestants partisans étaient en mesure de naviguer avec succès entre
le parti et les groupes de résidents concernés. Il est urgent de réfléchir aux normes et aux valeurs
que ces manifestations transmettront aux générations futures.
