Summary

Drawing from a workshop conducted on behalf of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, these case studies analyze South Africa's peacekeeping attempts since the end of apartheid and discuss its vigorous peacemaking efforts in specific countries, such as Burundi and the Ivory Coast. This collection explores not only the role of truth commissions and the gendered nature of South African peace processes but also the obstacles standing in the country's way due to its simultaneous existence as an arms manufacturer and weapons exporter. Ten principlesnbsp;for best practicenbsp;are also suggested.
