Development 

Development is the process of changing and developing social and economic reality by combining physical, economic, environmental and social components. There are several factors that shape development in South Africa.

1.Growth and Structural change

Development requires growth and structural change. The main goal is to move from the primary sector, to the secondary sector and finally to the tertiary sector. South Africa has not made progress in changing the structure of its economy, but there are rapidly growing sectors such as trade, agriculture, telecommunications, and so on.

2.Distribution of Income

Income distribution in development is equity in which income is shared equitably. A more equitable distribution of income can help accelerate growth and promote economic and social development. South Africa is known for its extreme income and inequality, with public spending increasingly targeting poor South Africans.

3.Political Transformation

Political growth must go hand in hand with economic and socio-cultural growth. Social structure and economic development depend heavily on political change. The dynamics of social, economic, political and cultural process in South Africa is associated with the role of transformation in the transition from an old to a new society. Development in South Africa was not equated to freedom.

4.Improvements in Education and Health

Education and health care play a fundamental role in the development of a country, as they indicate the satisfaction of basic human needs. In South Africa, education improves people's lives because it frees them from poverty and society continues to grow and the environment supports activities and conditions for healthy living.
