The loss of Johnny Clegg will be felt deeply by the Nelson Mandela Foundation. He was a South African of extraordinary quality, someone Madiba would have called a patriot. Johnny was a friend of the Foundation from its inception, and supported many of Madiba’s projects. We will miss him and his enormous energy. Our thoughts are with his family and friends, and with everyone who was touched by his music.
During the 1970s and 1980s, there was a global commitment to end Apartheid. Funding for civil society was more generous than it is now. However, when democracy was ushered in and the threat of a bloodbath in South Africa was successfully averted, global funding moved from civil society towards the government. Arguably, civil society is more visible today than it was twenty years ago and critique of its mandate, accountability and funding remains has grown. In the midst of it all, poverty and inequality have grown.
