How well do South Africans understand their Parliament? And—perhaps more importantly—do they trust it? This illuminating report goes beyond the number

From digital disconnection to untapped civic potential, the survey of over 400 respondents reveals a country that is politically aware, digitally engaged, yet still struggling with access, clarity, and representation. Whether it’s calls for a mobile-friendly dashboard, dissatisfaction with constituency offices, or a generational divide in media consumption, this report lays bare both the promise and pain points of parliamentary engagement.

Cluster analysis, sentiment tracking, and word clouds give this report texture and insight, painting a vivid picture of a democracy in conversation with itself.
