South Africa's Democratic Alliance- building an effective opposition to the African National Congress for a two party system
02/16/2014
Keller describes the need for an effective opposition and an alternative government in South Africa. Estimates show the Democratic Alliance winning 30% of the votes in an election. One difficulty is the Democratic Alliance's roots in white liberal politics and the need for an expanding reach into the black and other communities in South Africa for members.

Democracy in South Africa: A step backwards
Economist 02/12/2011
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
