Abstract

Worldwide, ageing diminishes the capacity to work and to earn. In many African Countries,
the traditional safety net for the elderly is the extended family, especially children. In South
Africa, social safety nets for the African elderly were largely neglected during the apartheid
legacy until the newly elected Government of South Africa in 1994 committed itself to redirect
resources towards the social sectors and within social spending where racially discriminatory
spending had to give way to patterns that better reflected national demographics.
