Notes
1. For an informative summary of these connections and their impact on both the anti-apartheid struggle and the process of democratization in South Africa, please refer to Popescu (Citation2010, 1–13).
2. See Coetzee Citation2014.
3. Chris Hani was a leader of the armed wing of the ANC during the anti-apartheid struggle, and was aligned politically with the South African Communist Party after the dismantling of the apartheid regime. Derrida dedicates his Specters of Marx (Citation1994) to Hani.
4. An instance that seems to fit this pattern is ousted ANC youth leader Julius Malema’s organizing of the Economic Freedom Fighters party in the wake of the 2012 police killing of 34 striking workers at Lonmin’s Marikana mines.
