Income inequality worsens for black Africans, improves for whites and Indians.

“Nationally, school attendance increased between 2002 and 2017, with Limpopo having the highest proportion of learners aged six to 18 years attending school. All provinces, except Western Cape and Gauteng, had above 90% of learners who benefited from government’s nutrition programmes,” the report said.

“This progress in education is in sharp contrast to health care, where substantial differences remain, by population group and province, in the use of public versus private health-care facilities and in having access to medical aid. Black Africans have significantly lower medical aid coverage compared to other population groups,” Maluleke explained.
