Inequality, Poverty and Democracy - The Paradox of South Africa.

Name of Author : Phillip Nyasha Fungurai

Abstract: The genesis of the South African independence in 1994 ushered in the advent of democracy in the rainbow nation. Twenty four years later, the country is still plagued by stark inequality and endemic poverty amongst the black and coloured community. This paper seeks to understand the nexus between the phenomena of inequality, poverty and democracy in South Africa.
