The role played by former President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela in the reconciliation and peace in the Republic of South Africa (RSA) was appreciated by the World. His ascendance to the highest office in the land on the 10th of May 1994 was seen by many as the triumph of the human spirit against adversity. The departure of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela from the Presidential office in the Republic of South Africa was seen by many as putting the country at a crossroads. It presented a leadership dilemma for South Africa as many were skeptical of which discourse would the next leaders pursue in the post-Mandela era. This article evaluates the South African leadership in the post-Mandela era in RSA.
