He's penned an interesting piece stating South Africa is "blowing in the wind'.
Chipkin reflects on where we are as a nation and the influence of state institutions on our political sphere.
He says the promise of a non-racial democracy is far from a reality.
''Where we are as South Africa, we're in trouble at the level of ideas.
"Many institutions established and created are in fundamental trouble, we're in a stage of crisis," he said.
"It's not just about bad people stealing money and corruption, rather a crisis of politics and sense of who we are, the language of decolonisation, nothing radical at all."
