Madonsela: SA, An Unequal Society
Monday 18 August, 2014 - 11:37
Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela, has described South Africa as one of the most unequal societies in the world.
In a speech delivered at the University of Stellenbosch, Madonsela says the country is one of the most unequal society despite the constitutional promises which include the substantive notion of equality.
"Compounding the situation is that poverty and unemployment have worsened and also the fact that, that too follows the contours of racial, gender and other forms of structural inequality or discrimination," she explained.
