Suid-Afrika se ekonomies egroei voor 1994 was beter en meer volgehou as na 1994. Dit is nie 'n ideologiese stelling nie, maar 'n feitlike een. Ekonomiese groei gedurende die tydperk 2009 tot 2024 was slegs 0,15% beter as gedurende die tydperk (1984 tot 1994) toe Suid-Afrika feitlik totaal afgesny was van die internasionale ekonomie, en onder geweldige druk as gevolg van interne - en eksterne militêre konflikte.

This growth rates were 4,3%; far exceeding even the most optimistic forecasts. The counter-response from the Left, and specifically Europe, was that the real state of an economy must be measured not in terms of GDP growth, but in terms of wage growth.
