WHAT CONSTITUTES DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA:

1. MODERNIZATION

Modernization refers to a process whereby traditional societies move to modern societies. This process helps in many ways because things evolve and people become more aware of their surroundings. In South Africa we see that the process of modernization is mostly done in rural societies where the government tries to install technological gadgets and some retail shops found in modernized cities.

2. POLITICAL TRANSFORMATION 

Political transformation refers to the development of the democracy. This factor is important because the rights of citizens evolve, and results to political growth. In South Africa we have political parties formed in order to educate people about politics of the country and the importance of having a say in the country's affairs.

3. RURAL TO URBAN MIGRATION

Rural to urban migration refers to the relocating of people from rural areas to urban areas. This is caused by people looking for better living standards. Due to the improved labour markets in urban areas it also cause the migration. In South Africa the rural urban migration is mainly caused by people seeking for better jobs, better education and sometimes following family members that have stayed in the urban area for a long time. In the South Africa the province that is experiencing the highest rural-urban migration is Gauteng (The city of Gold)

4. IMPROVEMENTS IN EDUCATION AND HEALTH

Education is a fundamental factor in the world and it must always be a developing factor. Health is very crucial because every human being is entitled to good health care facilities. These factors are daily evolving factors because people need education and good health care. In South Africa there are some provinces that still suffer in offering good education and good health care but is some provinces, adequate services are rendered.
