2012年南非有两件大事牵动全局，一是马利卡纳暴力事件，一是非国大53大。这两件事从不同角度反映了新南非诞生以来南非经济社会发展状况，反映了南非社会和执政党内存在的新旧矛盾与冲突。它们对南非未来形势发展的走向也必将产生深刻影响。
The Marikana Strike and the 53rd National Conference of the ruling ANC dominate the development of South African political economy in 2012. To some extent，they are the natural outcome of the economic and social development since the birth of New South Africa，and reflect the old and new contradictions and conflicts in South African society and ANC. The two events will have a deep impact in South Africa’s future development，and the extent has yet to be seen.
