Nowadays there are s number of questions in terms of what influences social needs of South Africans .

Some people feel it may be a consequence of South Africa's Apartheid-history that there are may South African communities that live in overwhelming poverty and don't have access to resource and service to fulfill the mot basic needs .Many communities are possibly not given opportunities to improve their circumstances and are still suffering as a result of the mentioned unequal society that exists.

On the other side the the so-called activist organisation(liberation organisations) for years upheld the motto "freedom before education" instead of "freedom through education". Several schools , handbooks and other infrastructure that are at the disposal of people are in the process for being destroyed. Communities which are not influenced by this, could provide themselves with basic liberation.

Presently in the notion of anti-racism , a form of reformative action which prohibits competent workers from securing a spot in the job market . An example is the ANC's policy of national proportional appointments, wherein Coloured people in the Western-Cape cannot obtain work or be promoted for work, as the posts are reserved[1] for Black People ( a minority group in the area).

The incredible population growth of the Black people also plays a role. Groups with a lower rate of growth spend more time,money and energy on their progeny( those who will follow for generations), which will provide more educational possibilities and financial prospects going forward.

Another question is border control ,where people from other African nations ever since the end of the so-called dark Aparthied era ,streamed into the the South African borders. The people are in search of a better standard of living, and are often better educated then farm labourers however they are prepared to work for less pay. This has lead to varied xenophobic eruptions.[2]

The role that trade unions are playing(having regular boycotts and having unrealistic demands)is setting the economy back. It is often paired with violence and property damage, that diminishes wealth and further averts investors.
