Other findings include:
South Africans take their human rights for granted and retain faith in the democratic system, with strong support for voting.
The ANC maintains strong voter support, despite considerable public cynicism about government and politicians.
Citizens expect the government to build on the substantial amount it delivered during the first two decades of democracy, even if they distrust many state institutions.
Citizens see legislative institutions as weak, unresponsive and corrupt.
There is an extreme lack of confidence in the police, fuelled by rampant crime and the belief that lawlessness prevails.
Although there are exceptions, most South Africans consign the experience of pervasive racism to history, and young people have moved beyond thinking along racial lines.
