In my previous blog posts, I have spoke to the history of South Africa, about its water crisis, and its history of discrimination. Through this blog post, I will update on the current state of South Africa, seeing that they recently had an election. Through this article, we will explore how the South Africa may change as we know it.
Just last week the president of South Africa was overthrown and replaced by a new radical leader. Kgalema Motlanthe replaced Thabo Mbeki, the previous leader of South Africa. This concerns many people considering that the new president has had a history of disliking capitalism, and supporting communist ideals, this sent a shockwave through South Africa’s new middle class.
Some of the other post apartheid issues South Africa is facing is that most educated people are leaving the country, in what is being referred to as a brain drain. Furthermore, crime, and robberies are on the rise. Nevertheless, it’s not all gloom, South Africa is enjoying an amazing 3% economic growth, furthermore South Africa is building infrastructure to hold an international sports competition in 2010.
