South Africa is not classified as an oligarchy; it is a constitutional democracy with a multi-party system. While there are concerns about the influence of elites and corruption within the political landscape, power is ultimately derived from the electorate through regular elections. The country's governance structure is designed to ensure representation and accountability, though challenges remain in practice. Therefore, while certain elements of oligarchic influence may exist, South Africa operates as a democratic state.

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.
