The high levels of unemployment, at over 25%, and inequality are considered by the government and most South Africans to be the most salient economic problems facing the country.

The country is half homeless camp and it seems determined to stay that way.

South Africa is a case study in how things will not be fixed by head chopping the billionaires.  South Africa is one place behind the State of Palestine in (happiness ratings).  Eliminating inequality and fundamental change is the 'only way', but people will say 'no way'.  The common preference is to head chop and take the place of the elite becoming the new elite.

Unequal societies are unhappy societies.

It has to do with being a social animal.  But as this is a fact that can be empirically proved, you really do not need a reason to know that inequality breeds unhappiness.
