由于经济结构单一、高失业率与高通胀率并存、公共部门成本过高等结构性问题，南非经济增长近五年来陷于停滞。经济停滞引发2017～2018年南非政府更迭，拉马福萨取代祖马成为南非新任领导人。南非新政府意图通过推动激进改革尤其是土地再分配，解决经济停滞和支持率下降的问题。为了赢得下次大选，新政府近期将会把主要精力放到国内事务上，国际承诺将趋于谨慎，参与南南合作的方式会有所调整。
South Africa’s economic growth has stagnated for nearly five years due to the structural problems of single economic structure，high unemployment rate and high inflation rate，and high public sector cost. The economic stagnation triggered a government change with Ramaphosa replacing Zuma as the new leader of South Africa. The new government of South Africa intends to solve the problem of economic stagnation and declining popularity by promoting radical reforms，especially land redistribution. In order to win the next general election，the new government will focus on domestic issues in the near future，while be cautious on international commitments and adjust approaches to south-south cooperation.
