A World Bank report in July focused on the persistent inequality in South Africa since the end of apartheid.
"At the heart of the inequality lies the inability to create employment opportunities on a large enough scale," said the bank report. The report and plan by Manuel's group goes further and says income disparities, together with national unemployment conservatively estimated at 25 per cent, must be confronted or there will be chaos.
South Africa needs to maintain an economic growth rate of at least 5.5 per cent a year - it's now 2.5 per cent - and to create 11 million jobs in the next 18 years, says the Manuel group.
