One of the measures which shows South Africa’s economic problem is Debt-to-GDP – a ratio between government debt and its gross domestic product (an estimate of the size of the economy).

A low Debt-to-GDP ratio represents an economy that “produces and sells goods and services sufficient to pay back debts without incurring further debt”.

In South Africa, the opposite is happening. Economic growth has slowed to just above 0% and government spending is increasing all the time.

South Africa was making excellent progress under former president Thabo Mbeki, but then the financial crisis hit and Jacob Zuma became president.
