    I mean life is shit here with super high unemployment, but I don’t know about “collapse”. People have been going hard on the “South Africa is going to collapse any day now” post 1994 (wonder why 🤔🤔🤔) and I don’t see it happening. Lots of quality of life measurements have actually improved since then.

        I mean we’re still going in a bad way. Issues such as corruption, inequality, rolling electricity blackouts/ load shedding, unemployment and austerity politics are all major issues in South Africa. Zuma was just on a level of shameless corruption that really can’t be compared to many other world leaders. Ramaphosa is not a great president, but he’s certainly better than Zuma was, and I’d say better than Mbeki too (but that’s an unpopular opinion in South Africa).

        If you want statistics, you can look at the data from the lastest 2022 census to see how things have improved in some ways.
