The main purpose of the dissertation is to determine how minority populism emerges out of the actions and utterances of SB leaders as they ‘do’ or perform populism and to then interpretively discuss and thickly describe the sort of populism they espouse in comparative terminology from existing populism studies literature.en© 2022 University of Pretoria.
