The major cause of poverty in South Africa is the lack of infrastructure in the country. South Africa needs to improve:

  1. transportation
  2. water and sanitation
  3. energy
  4. information technology
  5. urban development

Other causes of poverty in South Africa are:

  • Lack of skill and experience.
  • Many diseases like HIV/AIDS
  • Lack of education

They are many different reasons why there is poverty in south africa. One is not enough food. Another is that there aren't many jobs. There is also mosquitoes that carry diseases, so when people are bit, that disease get transferred to them. Many people die mostly of diseases, and if it is a parent, then their children are parentless. Orphans. To help, you can go to a Feed My Starving Children organization, or help at the pantry at your church.
