According to Oxfam, South Africa is the most economically unequal
country in the World - the wealth of the two richest citizens
outstrips that of the poorest 50% of the population. Twenty years
after the end of apartheid, why is that so?

As part of the BBC’s Richer World season Hardtalk speaks to Jay
Naidoo, leader of the South African trade union movement during
the liberation struggle and a cabinet minister under President
Nelson Mandela. Why hasn’t freedom reduced inequality?
