South Africa

South Africa's current WokeMeter score stands at 55.00, placing it at the 20th position globally, which corresponds to the 88.2th percentile. This score reflects moderate policy signalling intensity, characterized by consistent dimension scores across various domains, each marked at 55.00. Despite the absence of recent significant policy changes or events, this consistent score suggests a stable but moderate level of engagement with Western-style progressive policy signalling, particularly in areas such as institutional DEI policy intensity and legislative/regulatory activism. The uniformity across all dimensions indicates a balanced yet moderate approach to policy signalling without significant fluctuation in recent years.

Analyzing the dimension scores, South Africa exhibits uniform signalling intensity across various aspects such as speech and expression climate, education and curriculum signalling, and corporate/investor signalling. This even distribution suggests that while there is a foundational level of policy signalling present, it is not heavily skewed or intensified in any particular domain. The moderate score in the protest and activism salience dimension reflects a stable level of activism engagement without significant recent escalations. Overall, South Africa's policy signalling is consistent but moderate, with no particular dimension showing either high or low intensity compared to others.
