The paper argues that there is a serious rupture between the attempt to create a post‐Apartheid social system in South Africa and social action. This affects four areas of sociality: gendering systems, livelihood systems, signifying systems and value/normative systems. The consequence of this is that actions and actors in ‘civil society’, in their attempt to respond to social pressures, fragment and dissipate efforts to steer the society towards what its normative and institutional designs intended in the first place
