ABSTRACT
This chapter summarises and concludes the book by revisiting the notion of protest fragmentation and life going on in contemporary Southern Africa. It reiterates how apartheid fragments the individual and society, thus setting the stage for good neighbourly relations and demoted protest. The protest universe is depicted as a constellation of heterogeneously separate struggles caught up in protest triage. The individual protest, on the other hand, is phased and must content with pre-existent fragmentation owing to apartheid's separationist logic. It also comprises individuals who are fragmented and divided along the lines of their household experiences which make the absolute commitment to protest impossible. Finally, in the worst cases, protest reproduces apartheid. The chapter concludes by pointing out that apartheid did not die, and it continues to shape who protests, how they protest and how life goes on regardless.
