Modern day South Africa is known not only for the apartheid era and the beauty of cities such as Cape Town, but also for a level of economic inequality that for many represents the dichotomy of globalization. A former British colonial holding South Africa since its creation served as a rich resource for the British of material wealth from its rich mineral supply. While the colony served in many ways a purely economic purpose, it was also one of settlement. Under British control from the 19th century onwards British settlers saw continual conflict and violence with local populations and struggled to establish and maintain colonies across the region. As such, infrastructure and development in South Africa remained limited to a small number of

Many of the contemporary issues in South Africa can easily be associated with the apartheid laws which devastated the country. The people of South Africa struggle day by day to reverse “the most cruel, yet well-crafted,” horrific tactic “of social engineering.” The concept behind apartheid emerged in 1948 when the nationalist party took over government, and the all-white government enforced “racial segregation under a system of legislation” . The central issues stem from 50 years of apartheid include poverty, income inequality, land ownership rates and many other long term affects that still plague the brunt of the South African population while the small white minority still enjoy much of the wealth, most of the land and opportunities

South Africa is facing high levels of unemployment, low standard of living and a high rate of poverty specifically in rural societies. According to Trading Economics (2016) South Africa unemployment rate increased over a period of months in the year 2016, from 24.5% to 25.3%.

The city of Cape Town remains today a city of commercial trade, as trade is conducted through the port in Cape Town to other countries around the world (Economy, 2011). Although many people in South Africa still rely on subsistence agriculture to live, the majority of the South African economy is commercial. They have a plentiful supply of natural resources, which enable them to process those resources and trade them with the rest of the world in the free trade market (South Africa, 2011). In 1948, South Africa faced many problems as a policy of apartheid was implemented by the elected National Party (South Africa, 2011). This meant that there was a separate development of the African Americans and Caucasians, which favored the Caucasian minority (Comaroff, 1997). The apartheid caused many economic problems such as poverty, a lack of public transportation and “a lack of economic empowerment among the disadvantaged groups” (South Africa, 2011). South Africa’s economy also suffered major blows in 2007, when there was an electricity crisis, and in 2009, from the global financial crisis. During this time South African GDP dropped 2 % (South Africa, 2011). This being said, the South African stock exchange remains strong and is now the 18th largest in the world (South Africa, 2011).

Throughout the history of South Africa, problems regarding the overall well-being of the country have arisen. One current issue South Africa is currently facing is HIV/AIDS. The disease has been plaguing South Africa as well as other countries throughout the continent. The initialism HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. This disease attacks and destroys the infection-fighting CD4 cells of the immune system. Loss of these cells makes it difficult for the body to fight infections. Without treatment, HIV can gradually destroy the immune system and advance to AIDS. Human immunodeficiency virus is a multistage disease and AIDS is the most advanced stage. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. According to the World Health Report, South Africa’s health system is ranked 175th in the world, making it one of the lowest in the world. With such a low-quality health system, the disease is easily spreading throughout South Africa quickly. The epidemic has detrimentally affected South Africa’s economy causing low productivity and a reduced labor supply. This, combined with the need for enhanced medical imports and a reduced exportation rate, is causing economic instability for the South African government. With all the negative effects of HIV/AIDS in South Africa, creating a better health system and ensuring healthy citizens must be a priority. In order to achieve healthy and productive citizens, the government must focus on more permanent, cost effective, solution to

In 1978 P.W. Botha became prime minister, at this point he introduced a new constitution with a tri-cameral parliament, with houses for whites, coloreds and Indians and no representation for blacks.

The multifaceted state of South Africa underwent vast reconstruction after the end of the apartheid in 1994 and experienced transformative changes in the racial, economic and societal relations of the region. Aside from the divisions and devastations the country faced as a result of apartheid the country also opened its economy to international business, deregulating major sectors of its economy and engaging in trade liberalization policies in an attempt to spur economic growth and international trade (Schreiner, Mohapi & Koppen, 2004). The positive economic development that was expected as a result of these policies was not felt and many people lost their main source of employment and survival. This affected South African woman

South Africa is a unique country that has endured many hardships and the only way to overcome those hardships is through change. Although the ANC claims to have solely brought about change this however was not the case. What brought about change during Apartheid was that, the people came together and united! With one leader Nelson Mandela, whose aims were equivalent to YOU’s aims, which is that he saw the need for unity and because the people were united the weight of their pressure exceeded the governments scale and made it tip and therefore led to the end of Apartheid. So don’t let the fear of change overcome the need for balance and fairness because South Africa shall not know peace until it learns the art of equality.
