South Africa is a democratically run country where free and fair elections are held to elect a government. Thus the government is elected by the people for the people and the government is not a one-party affair, but rather a multi-party parliament. The actual word democracy carries the same denotation (dictionary value) in South Africa as it does around the world.

Is South Africa a democracy an oligarchy or an autocracy?
South Africa has a democracy on paper. It was a internationally recognized Republic under the 'National Party' (which held the infamous policy of Apartheid) from 1948 to 1994, but held its first "democratic" elections in 1994. South Africa is not a true democracy yet, until the current ANC regime gives over power to an opposition without clinging to power. Only once power was transferred will South Africa be recognized as a true democracy. Until then South Africa is a one party state.
