It has a developed world class financial system , a competitive manufacturing industry , a top notch service industry , a modern agri-processing sector , a functioning legal system ....just to name these few. However competition and penetration other world markets worldwide have been hampered with skills in short supply in the country. The South African government many efforts to deal with above have not produced palpable results in terms increasing the amount of skills for the economy.

Efforts made by the South African government

In 1994 , after the country the community of world nations , it had lowered entry barriers to foreign produced goods therefore allowing competition of local firms to compete with cheaply produced imports from countries such as China . The biggest casualty in the process was the clothing industry which is almost defunct at the moment. The South African attempted to bring foreign African migrants to sustain the competitiveness of its economy while in the meantime to build a skilled workforce. To this day , the efforts have not borne positive results,
