Abstract
Since the dawn of democracy, South Africa has come a long way in trying to eradicate
problems relating to poverty and inequality that the apartheid system left deeply engraved
within the midst of our society. To date we however still live in a society characterised by
severe socio-economic challenges. Most of these challenges are not straight fold, onedimensional
issues. Instead, in most cases one would find that with each challenge, stem even
more interrelated challenges. Up to now, poverty, associated with notions relating to scarcity,
insufficiency and deficiency, is still one of these major challenges South Africa seems to be
grappling with.
