Has Government Broken the Social Contract? The Failed State of South Africa

Is South Africa officially a failed state? In this video, we break down what a failed state really means and measure South Africa against the three key pillars: providing basic rights, creating economic growth, and ensuring safety and security. With collapsing growth, rising crime, failing institutions, and taxpayer money wasted on corruption and inefficiency, South Africa is edging dangerously close to full state failure.

We also unpack the social contract between government and citizens, why Treasury and the Reserve Bank are holding the line, and why the ANC’s policies may push the rand and the economy to the brink. This is more than just politics—it’s about the survival of South Africa as a functioning country.

Join the discussion: do you think South Africa has already crossed into failed state territory, or is there still hope for recovery?
