This is according to a study conducted by IPSOS,  one of the largest market research and polling companies globally.  The study, conducted as part of the Halifax Security Forum's annual survey across 30 countries, shows that 8 in 10 online South Africans view democracy, human rights, and the rule of law as universal values that all nations deserve and can aspire to.  Mari Harris, Sub-Sahara Africa Knowledge Specialist at Ipsos in South Africa says these findings reflect the enduring impact of South Africa's struggle for human rights and democracy.
