The South African Journal of Psychology (SAJP), originally Psygram (1959-1969), is the largest psychology journal in Africa and is the preferred scientific publication for academics and researchers in psychology in South Africa. It is generalist and has been continuously published over the past 55 years, eventually incorporating the Journal of Behavioural Sciences (1969-1979), Psychologia Africana (1962-1983), and the South African Psychologist (1962-1979). This Special Issue of the SAJP celebrates the 20th anniversaries of both the formation of the Psychological Society of South Africa (PsySSA) and the advent of democracy in South Africa. Unlike the first South African Psychological Association, which was formed in Bloemfontein weeks after the apartheid regime came to power on 26 May 1948, the formation of PsySSA on 21 January 1994 preceded by over 3 months South Africa's historic first general elections of 27 April 1994 (Cooper, 2012)
