In 1994, Nelson Mandela's election ended apartheid and promised a new beginning for South Africa. Thirty years later, it's the most unequal country in the world, with 67% of its population below the poverty line and infrastructure that barely functions. This video breaks down how corruption at state utility Eskom, the "state capture" era under Jacob Zuma, and well-intentioned but destructive policies like Black Economic Empowerment drained billions from the economy and crushed growth. We also look at the new coalition government's reforms, and whether South Africa can still turn things around.
