Maseng $(2014$:$1)$ notes that in post$-$apartheid South Africa, efforts have been made to ensure that public policy becomes a democratic and inclusive process. Thus since $1994$ the public policy$-$making arena has been marked by evolution in the political actors that have a critical influence on public policy$-$making processes, through establishing and institutionalising public participation in policy processes. This suggests that the state, non$-$state actors and the general public have the opportunity to make inputs into public policy making

Critically discuss key role$-$players in public policy making and provide practical examples$($Real world in South Africa$)$ of how each contributes to public policy making

Role players which are:

$1.$Regulators

$2.$Suppliers

$3.$Consumers

$4.$Competitors

Very important to write in$-$text referencing and list all references at the end.
