L'Afrique du Sud célèbre, en cette fin du mois d'avril, les 30 ans des premières élections multiraciales, et l'avènement de la démocratie. Le 27 avril 1994, après un scrutin historique, Nelson Mandela était élu président, et le pays tournait la page des années apartheid. Depuis, l'ANC s'est toujours maintenu au pouvoir. L'économie a continué à se développer, et le pays est désormais l'un des plus industrialisés du continent, mais le bilan est plutôt contrasté. De notre correspondante à Johannesburg,Pour l'économiste Azar Jammine, le pays a en fait connu, depuis 1994, deux périodes : avant et après la présidence de Jacob Zuma, marquée par la corruption. « Les quinze premières années ont été plutôt un succès. Le pays a connu une croissance moyenne de 3% par an, entre 1994 et 2001. Et ensuite, presque 5% par an entre 2001 et 2007. Il faut dire que cela coïncidait avec un boom des prix des matières premières, donc tout allait bien. Mais à partir de 2012, l'économie sud-africaine a fait très peu de progrès, avec une baisse significative de la croissance », détaille-t-il.Le FMI prévoit désormais une croissance de 0,9% en 2024 pour le pays. Et même si le nombre d'emplois a augmenté depuis 1994, le rythme n'a pas été assez soutenu, puisque près de 32% des Sud-Africains sont au chômage – et en particulier les populations noires. De plus, les politiques de discrimination positive n'ont pas suffisamment permis de transformer le monde du travail, selon Xhanti Payi, économiste pour PwC.« Faciliter l'inclusion au sein de l'économie a été un défi, si l'on regarde qui est à la tête des entreprises, ou qui possède la richesse en Afrique du Sud. L'ancien président Mbeki parlait même de deux économies », rappelle l'expert. « Or, l'inclusion est importante, car lorsqu'on distribue la richesse, on en crée aussi un peu plus, puisque davantage de gens vont avoir de quoi consommer, et de quoi contribuer. »Le salaire minimum, « une des réussites de l'ANC »L'Afrique du Sud reste ainsi l'un des pays les plus inégalitaires au monde, selon l'indice de Gini. « Un des gros problèmes en termes de réduction sur le long terme de la pauvreté et des inégalités, c'est le manque d'actifs détenus par la majorité de la population sud-africaine », met en avant Isobel Frye, la directrice du think tank Social Policy Initiative (SPI).« Sous l'apartheid, les communautés noires ne pouvaient presque pas posséder de terres. Pareil pour les petites entreprises, les gens étaient prolétarisés et dépendants de leurs salaires. Et les salaires, pour ceux qui sont employés, et surtout pour les emplois semi ou peu qualifiés, sont très bas. Donc, l'introduction d'un salaire minimum est l'une des réussites de l'ANC », ajoute-t-elle.Le système d'allocations sociales, parmi les plus développés du continent, est une bouée pour les plus pauvres : près de 30% de la population en bénéficie, sans compter l'aide post-Covid toujours distribuée.
