Following the transition, Afrikaner capital elites, particularly in mining and finance, have maintained prominence in South Africa's liberal democratic landscape. However, their contribution to the post-apartheid economy remains incompletely understood. Despite reforming their local presence and reconstructing economic power, these actions are intricately linked to global and African National Congress (ANC)-led neoliberal projects. This does not necessarily signify a persistent or renewed Afrikaner capital bloc. This article delves into the dynamics of state-capital relations among Afrikaans speakers, considering the institutional and material legacy of apartheid and contemporary global restructuring. It underscores the importance of this context in explaining the evolving role and influence of Afrikaner capital elites in the post-apartheid and global economies.

Conceived within fortified resource enclaves, the policies adopted and actions taken in the area of CSR at many of the region's large-scale mines today have had had minimal effect on community wellbeing.
