The South African economy is the best in Africa. It's got world class infrastructure and a higher GDP rate compared to most regions in Africa. However, the country suffers from many economic structural problems mainly due to it's past like "Apartheid". Due to this many have been locked out from receiving a proper education which is what's causing the country to lag behind with high unemployment levels currently siting at around 23%, although many highly skilled vacancies remain unfilled in the country. Inequality is also a major concern. Many regions in South Africa are fully developed but not too far from those regions, you'll find people living in shanty towns below the poverty line. South Africa managed to weather the financial crisis of 2008 very well, but with Europe being it's major export destination, the recent Eurozone crisis has prevented South Africa's annual growth rate from exceeding 3% or growing to pre-crisis levels of around 7% needed to put a dent in unemployment. South Africa also suffers from corruption within it's government along with having first-world labor regulations which also makes the country less attractive to foreign direct investors or manufacturing.
