This document presents scenarios for South Africa's next ten years based on time-traveler forecasts. It includes graphs and data on economic growth rates, unemployment levels, living conditions, education enrollment, electricity capacity, opinion polls, and protests between 1994-2020. Four potential scenarios for South Africa's future are described: Wide Road (open politics, extensive reform), Narrow Road (limited reform), Rocky Road (closed politics, volatility), and Toll Road (some reform). Graphs project economic and political trends under each scenario from 2020-2024.

With CoP21 fast approaching, and given the fact that developing countries are likely to play a greater role than they did six years ago at CoP15, this was a timely and important topic. Using research from our Growth and Poverty Project to lay out the economic progress Africa has made over the last twenty years, my contribution to the forum served to provide a background against which the other discussions could take place.

• Consumer expenditure in SSA
equaled nearly $600 billion in

nearly $1 trillion by 2020.
• Consumer spending in South
Africa and Nigeria accounts for 51
percent of SSA's total expenditure.
• Poverty in SSA is decreasing
rapidly—from 40 percent in 1980 to
less than 30 percent in 2008—and is
expected to fall to 20 percent by 2020.
• By 2050, almost 60 percent of
people in SSA will live in cities,

This means 800 million more people
will live in urban environments.

Africans—or more than 500 million
people—will own a mobile phone.
By 2014, this portion is expected to
