Warnings about South Africa's unemployment rate, with anger rising and millions jobless
South Africa's official unemployment rate of 33% is the highest in the world, even higher than other obvious places like Gaza and the West Bank, Djibouti and Kosovo. A United Nations report delivered to the South African government in July (2023) described the situation as a “ticking time bomb”.

South Africa used to be the only First World country on the African continent, from the mid-1960s to about 1990.
The only country in Africa that had a higher GDP was Egypt, but that was only because Egypt had 6 times the population at that time.
Today this is no longer the case.
In the 80s, South Africa was in the news all the time. Today the media won't touch it.
