Abstract
South Africa is one of the strongest economies in Africa and key to the economic and political development of Sub-Saharan Africa. But the central thrust is one of considerable economic potential, with significant constraints imposed by the legacy of the past. South Africa has potential to compete in the global economy but socio-economic developmental demands require critical efforts for long-term sustainability and may become a binding constraint.-
