` What is the impact of dominance of (one party) ANC and

its alliance COSATU & SACP on civil society?

` How much grassroot people associated with social

movements in South Africa?

` Since post-apartheid, South Africa have not witnessed any

national level social movement.

` Why the numbers of Non-Profit Organisations has

increased especially regarding HIV/AIDS but rate of

HIV/AIDS has also increased?

` Is South African civil society depend upon foreign funding?
