South Africa: Current Events

South Africa has held four national elections successfully since the end of Apartheid in 1994. The people of South Africa are pleased with the democratic culture and the fact that they do have some say in the solution.

The current economy went into recession in May of 2009 after the mining and manufacturing slowed down. South Africa having the largest economy in the continent will have a huge affect on Africa’s own economy. Violent attacks were made on the workers from outside countries because of the high unemployment rates.
