SA is still the most unequal country in the world, according to the World Bank

South Africa ranks as the most unequal country in the world, with race being a major factor driving inequality, according to a report by the World Bank. The impact of race on education and the labor market has contributed to high inequality, even three decades after the end of apartheid.
Gender also significantly contributes to inequality in South Africa, with women earning 30% less than men with the same level of education. The pay gap between men and women reaches 38% in both South Africa and Namibia.
Uneven distribution of agricultural land, particularly in rural areas, is another factor driving inequality in Southern Africa.
