ABSTRACT

This article describes the mining data of South Africa. Because South Africa is rich in minerals, this is also the main industrial pillar of South Africa’s economic development. Although the development of minerals is more developed, it will also solve the labor and employment problems, but the local wealth distribution cannot be obtained. Reasonable distribution will directly lead to more problems. This article will mainly discuss and analyze related problems.

KEYWORDS

Mining industry, democratic process, labor force, unequal distribution of wealth
