The Helen Suzman Foundation conducts surveys and in-depth research into political parties, elections and attitudes on a wide variety of issues in South Africa, Zimbabwe and other southern African countries. For details of our surveys see our Special Reports.

Our quarterly magazine, Focus, available on this site, promotes debate on critical issues from a liberal perspective and ranges widely over South African politics and its leading personalities.

Issues discussed in recent articles include:
  • corruption
  • election and political poll coverage and electoral reform
  • the Mbeki presidency
  • traditional leaders
  • media freedom
  • poverty eradication
  • the TRC
  • many aspects of the crisis in Zimbabwe
  • ANC factionalism
  • Afrikaner dissent
  • black economic empowerment
  • trade unions
  • liberalism
  • black consciousness
  • the African food crisis and poverty trends
  • education
  • land reform and land invasions
  • HIV/Aids
  • crime and vigilantes
  • the arms-deal inquiry
  • non-payment of services

Some material is available to all registered users. This includes issues nine to fifteen of KwaZulu-Natal Briefing and all issues of Focus except for the four most recent.
