Four factors that contitute development in the South African context 

1. Rural to urban migration- A country's economic is highly dependent on the urban areas because it is where industries and job opportunities are. In South Africa many people still live in the rural areas and are not prepared to migrate to the urban areas because of the high standard of living and because of this the the country cannot develop further.

2. Political transformation- South Africa experienced political transformation when it became a democratic nation and cancelled the apartheid regime, this helped with the economic growth and development of the country.

3. Distribution of income- when income is distributed equally in the country, it keeps the country running smoothly but if it cannot be distributed equally and it is only distributed among a small fraction of the population, the country's economy might collapse.  In South Africa there is inequality and this means that a high number of people do not receive any kind of income, this limits the development of the country. 

4. Improvements in education and health- lack of a proper healthcare system and education limits the development of a country, for instance, South Africa has a poor education system and thus restricts the youth of many educational opportunities and this results in a weak economy
