Afrobarometer Survey South Africa 2008 - South Africa

Abstract
---------------------------

The Afrobarometer South Africa Survey 2008 is from Wave 4 of the Afrobarometer Surveys. The study collected data on the attitudes and opinions of the citizens of South Africa. Opinions were gathered on the role of the government in improving the economy, whether corruption existed in local and national government, whether government officials were responsive to problems of the general population, and whether local government officials, the police, the courts, the overall criminal justice system, the South African Defense Force, the media, the Independent Electoral Commission, and the South African Broadcasting Corporation could be trusted. Respondents were polled on their knowledge of government officials, their level of personal involvement in political, governmental, and community affairs, the inclusiveness of the government, and what their reactions would be to executive branch-sponsored government-imposed restrictions or prohibitions on the media, the judicial system, and parliament.
