Abstract
Poverty is seen as the phenomenon that is typical of certain countries, areas
and group of people who posses specific traits and labels that contribute to
their condition of being poor. In South Africa poverty is primarily a feature of
the previously disadvantaged population. Black South Africans who are the
majority, are the most vulnerable group that is affected by poverty. The
extent of poverty is significant in certain geographic areas like rural areas,
informal settlement and in the farms. There are various factors that
contributed to the legacy of poverty and these include colonialism, apartheid
governance, racism, sexism and discrimination.
