Next 5 to 10 years may be uncomfortable for SAns─── 11:17 Tue, 18 Aug 2015
Bloemfontein - A recent local study, which looked into the country's future scenarios, suggests that the next five to ten years may be uncomfortable for South Africans.
The Institute for Security Studies' (ISS) executive director, Jakkie Cilliers, who led the research, says factors such as slow economic growth, an increasing population, and the country’s poor political system, were the biggest determining indicators.
The study further states that poor governance will likely lead to the situation deteriorating.
Cilliers says the upcoming elections could come with negative consequences.
Cilliers however says despite the findings, the country’s growth prospects are quite healthy.
