Cape Town, South Africa - Republic of South Africa
ECONOMY-SAFRICA-INEQUALITY.
Two domestic workers cross a bridge against the Cape Town city skyline as
they return home at the days end in this July 2002 file picture. Almost nine
years after the end of white rule, huge income disparities still persist in
Nelson Mandela's "Rainbow Nation". Disturbingly, recent research by
Statistics South Africa suggests that income inequalities, which still run
largely but not exclusively along racial lines, may actually be growing.
