The history of clinical psychology training in South Africa shows it to have the same racist past as all other aspects of life in the country. With the inception of democracy in 1994, it had been expected that more black African clinical psychologists will be trained in an effort to correct the serious imbalance created by apartheid. This study is a follow-up of earlier research into improvements during the first 12 years post-apartheid. In the present investigation, the licencing register of the Health Professions Council of South Africa was examined for the next 12-year period (2007–2018) to ascertain the number of black Africans trained as clinical psychologists, and the universities that had provided the training. The findings showed no real change in the number trained from the previous period. Of the 2883 clinical psychologists licensed in the study period only 426 (14.8%) were black African, despite this group constituting 80.7% of the South African population.

南非临床心理学培训的历史表明，它与该国生活的所有其他方面有着相同的种族主义过去。随着1994年民主制度的建立，人们期望培训更多黑人非洲临床心理学家，以纠正种族隔离制度造成的严重失衡。这项研究是对种族隔离之后的最初12年中对改进的早期研究的后续研究。在本次调查中，对南非卫生职业委员会的执照登记册进行了为期12年（2007-2018年）的检查，以确定接受过临床心理学家培训的非洲黑人人数以及提供培训的大学。调查结果表明，与上一时期相比，培训人数没有真正的变化。
