Is South Africa a socialist or capitalist country?
South Africa is a capitalist country but very few people really understand in detail what this means. The country’s capitalist economy thrived under colonialism and apartheid, and some say it is doing even much better under democracy.
Did Steve Biko start Saso?
It was at a UCM conference where a group of black students, including Steve Biko, formed a group, which later led to the final formation of SASO in 1968. Within its first few years, SASO created a number of projects aimed at black student concerns but which also involved the general African population.
