Just like any other country the causes are almost in general terms-lack of education,poor, dieseses like hiv,squalid living conditions and corruption from the top and lastly influs from foreigners who are either highly skilled and take all the top high paying jobs. and the cheap labour who will accept the lowest wage for they will be claiming asylum from their respectfull countries.

Labour Laws in South Africa also make it very difficult to dismiss or retrench workers. Also hiring of workers has to comply with racial and gender quotas. Most workers are also pressured to join a trade union. To solve these problems many workers are employed by businesses as "self-employed contractors". They are then like any other supplier of goods or services and an employer can simply cease using them for any reason. Many self-employed contractors do not register as employed and don't register for tax. They are shown as "unemployed" in the system.
