Bloemfontein - South Africa is in a far better place in 2014 than it was in 1994, though the single biggest challenge remains inequality.
 
This was the message from the vice-chancellor and principal of Wits University, Adam Habib, at the University of the Free State yesterday. He said during the launch of his new book, South Africa’s Suspended Revolution: Hopes and Prospects, that inequality in the country leads to the rising levels of crime, women and child abuse, as well as the rising number of protests.
 
He also highlighted the high levels of inequality in the Free State's Health Department as one of the fundamental challenges that leaders need to tackle.
