Now What South Africa?

from HUMAN Talks · host HUMAN internasjonale dokumentarfilmfestival

When Nelson Mandela took office after the fall of the Apartheid regime in 1994, hopes were high for a better future. As it would turn out, South Africa is today the most unequal country in the world according to The World Bank. The organization reported that South Africa's top 1% owns 70,9% of the country's wealth, while only 7% of its assets is controlled by the bottom 60%.  Most of the people living in poverty are black, and most of South Africa's black population is considered poor. Are we still witnessing the legacy of Apartheid in South African society and if so - what are the causes for the growing inequality?  Panel: South African filmmaker Rehad Desai, founder and leader of the Fees Must Fall movement Fasiha Hassan, and executive director of Nobel Peace Center Liv Tørres. In collaboration with the Nobel Peace Center.
