FOUR FACTORS THAT CONSTITUDE DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF SA.

1.RURAL TO URBAN MIGRATION

A lot of youngsters from rural areas like, KZN,EASTERN CAPE or LIMPOPO, migrate to Gauteng because of how developed the markets are in its cities. Generally the lives of  the ones who migrate are improved because of more and better opportunities, however the lives of the ones that remain, mostly adults, worsen as they lose their youth who would have been the ones to continue with their businesses of farming. So the economy benefits in the secondary sector and is negatively affected in the primary sector.

2.Political transformation

SA is a democratic country, this means that political freedom is almost impossible, with all the numerous political parties, striving to lead the country , each with different objectives, that most of the time are beneficial to them and not to the public at large. Political freedom for SA is still far fetched, as we are a developing country at progress.

3.IMPROVEMENT IN EDUCATION AND HEALTH

The education system of SA, is poor and quite frankly, it does not equip its public with the necessary skills and knowledge to make them eligible to employment or even have a career, to improve the economy. For instance, the requirement for being admitted to an institution of higher learning, more that the requirements of obtaining a matric certificate.

As for the health, for those that can not afford to pay for private clinics and hospital, they have to settle for the public health facilities offered by the government, whose state are devastating and its working personnel are often rude to patients.

There is still a long way to go in improving the two mentioned above, among others, to make SA a developed country.

4.MODERNISATION

With the level of quality of education SA offers, it makes it almost impossible to transform it to a modernization country. We currently rely on other country's technologies to better ours, in hopes of qualifying our country as developed, one day.
