15yrs ago - South Africa was far ahead - 10 times.
Then it got stuck - since 2010 - GDP has been stuck.
And things are getting worse n worse.
Kenya GDP is now 3 times less than RSA.
15yrs - we will be in the same mess - South Africa is regressing because GDP is stuck while population is increasing (births and migration)
Will not happen in our lifetime. SA is mismanaged but by far political and economic more stable than Kenya. What does Kenya produce apart from coffee, tea, flowers and athletes that SA does not produce in bigger and better quality? A highway like the Thika one is nothing in SA to talk about. Found even in small cities. Quality of life in SA for the middle class is much higher than Kenya. Do you know of any South African seeking to work in Kenya? I know many of the opposite. That is the indication of prosperity.
