Abstract

ISSUES UNDERLYING NATIONAL PLANNING PRIORITIES
Since the end of apartheid, significant progress has been made in many areas to improve living conditions of the disadvantaged in South Africa. However, the South African nation is still plagued by challenges such as continuing social divisions, corruption and high unemployment. Specific challenges include unequal access to good public services, economic opportunities and resources. To address these challenges, the National Plan 2030 sets ambitious aims. It hopes to reduce inequality and eliminate poverty within its time horizon of 20 years. To achieve these aims, the Plan highlights several areas in which continued progress needs to be made: higher education and skill levels; better shelter; improved health, safety and social security; more employment opportunities, and more efficient transport facilities.
