Bloemfontein - In 2014 South Africa is in a far better place than it was in 1994 though the single biggest challenge is inequality. This was shared by Vice-Chancellor and Principal of Wits University, Adam Habib at the University of the Free State on Wednesday.
 
Habib says inequality in the country leads to the rising levels of crime and women and child abuse as well as the rising number of protests.

During the launch of his new book South Africa’s Suspended Revolution: Hopes and Prospects Habib highlights the high inequality levels in the Free State's Health Department as one of the fundamental challenges provincial government leaders need to tackle.
 
He names quality education, employment and efficient service delivery as the main challenges the country is facing.
