South Africa, a country already struggling with corruption and high [[unemployment]], has only declined further for the [[proletariat]] and has fueled rising [[racism]] and hyper [[nationalism]].<ref>{{Web citation|author=Reneva Fourie|newspaper=The African|title=‘Neoliberal policy trajectory threatens the ANC’s legitimacy’|date=2024-09-28|url=https://theafrican.co.za/politics/2024-09-28-neoliberal-policy-trajectory-threatens-the-ancs-legitimacy2/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251118170056/https://theafrican.co.za/politics/2024-09-28-neoliberal-policy-trajectory-threatens-the-ancs-legitimacy2/|archive-date=2025-11-18}}</ref><br />
