摘要

Twenty years after South African anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela was released from a government prison - and 16 years after he became the first South African president chosen in an election open to people of all races - the country's science system continues to experience difficulties. In addition to inadequate funding, it suffers from a lack of qualified research students that is a direct result of the government's failure to address the legacy of apartheid education.rnHowever, there is reason for optimism. The South African research community's long alienation from the government, which emanated largely from former president Thabo Mbeki's denialist stand on AIDS, is at last a thing of the past. And in May 2009, newly elected president Jacob Zuma appointed Naledi Pandor as his minister of science and technology. Her role as education minister in the previous cabinet has given Pandor a firm grasp of the problems facing science in South Africa. And because she is the first incumbent at her ministry to be a member of the ruling African National Congress, she has the requisite clout to effect reform.
