The election of 1994 resulted in a change in government with the African National Congress (ANC) coming to power. The ANC retained power after subsequent elections in 1999, 2004, 2009 and 2014. Children born during this period are known as the born-free generation, and those aged eighteen or older, were able to vote for the first time in 2014.]]> 2017-12-11 09:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_daugaard_lambaek/vu9kxadbw12b/wish/214940819 Presidents after the apartheid: anna_daugaard_lambaek https://padlet.com/anna_daugaard_lambaek/vu9kxadbw12b/wish/214941292

In 2012-2013, it was 31.3 per 100,000 people, the South African Police Service said.

So while it is still extremely high (the US, in comparison, has a homicide rate of 4.7 per 100,000), South Africa has fewer than half the murders it did two decades ago

According to the World Bank, South Africa’s Gini coefficient — a measure of income inequality — increased from 0.59 in 1993 to of 0.63 in 2009, making this country one of the most unequal societies in the world.
Corruption has gotten worse
South Africa ranked 21st of 42 countries on Transparency International's corruptions perceptions index in 1995. In 2004, it ranked 44th of 145 countries. By last year South Africa’s ranking had slid to 72nd of 177 countries.
White people still earn much more than black people
According to the 2011 census, the incomes of black South African households grew by 169 percent over the preceding decade. But white South Africans still earn six times as much money.
The average annual income of black South African households is R60,613 (about $5,700), while for white-headed households it is R365,134 ($34,300). On a positive note — overall, household incomes more than doubled during the 10 years from 2001 to 2011.
