$15/hr Starting at $800

But in the recent years, it is increasingly evident social and economic failure. After twenty years the dissolution of apartheid, South Africa remains a country full of contradictions, which are still strong inequalities between whites and blacks.

Within the ANC since Mandela stepped down from any political office there is fighting an internal struggle for power. DA (Democratic Alliance), the second largest party in South Africa, led by Helen Zille, former mayor of Cape Town, is creating serious problems to ANC.
