?:abstract
  • In South Africa, inequality has worsened over the past two decades, leading to the country being recognized as the most unequal society globally. The escalating inequality has sparked social conflicts, posing a threat to the already fragile social cohesion. However, there is limited understanding of public perceptions regarding these conflicts, which are crucial for comprehending their dynamics. To shed light on this issue, we utilize the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) dataset to investigate the factors influencing perceived social conflict in South Africa. Our findings reveal that objective class plays a significant role in shaping perceptions of social conflict, aligning with the Marxist notion of the link between class and conflict perceptions in the country. Moreover, beliefs about stratification, such as perceived inequality and tolerance for inequality, also exert a considerable influence on perceived social conflict. Overall, these results offer valuable insights for policymakers in their efforts to address the pressing issues of class, conflict, and inequality, particularly in the aftermath of the July 2021 unrest when South Africa continues to grapple with social instability caused by deep class divisions.
