State of the Nation: South Africa 2022

In anticipation of South Africa’s annual State of the Nation Address (SoNA), this document contains an assessment by the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR) of some of the key questions that will be facing the country in 2022. This is based on insights generated from primary research and in-field engagements by the organisation’s staff in its Research and Policy unit, and Peacebuilding Interventions and Sustained Dialogues programmes.
