Life expectancy was 62 years in 1990, it was 47 years in 2004. The government estimates that nearly four million people are HIV+. Starting in the 2000s, the government of South Africa became aware of the magnitude of this phenomenon and launched several national actions. The most recent and most important is the HIV and AIDS and STI Strategic Plan for South Africa for the years 2007-2011. 50 Graph 3.

2. Current Challenges 2.1.2. The National Economy Since the end of apartheid, the government has successfully endeavoured to ensure high national economic growth to allow the country to rebuild itself economically and socially. This strategy was first presented in the RDP 25 in which economic growth and social reconstruction must go hand in hand. It was taken up in 1996 in the Growth, Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) plan that advocated economic growth supposed to automatically ensure social reconstruction. Finally, the recent Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa (ASGISA) recommends continuing to seek economic development over the 2004-2014 period. In part thanks to this political effort, growth remains high in South Africa: over the 2006-2007 period, growth was 5%. In large South African cities, the principal sectors of activity are services, finance, commerce, the textile industry and transport, followed by construction, mining, energy and agriculture.
