The South African Institute of Race Relations says the socio-economic circumstances and inequalities that allowed Julius Malema to become such a force in South African politics remain intact.
Youth unemployment rates surpass 50-percent and only 60-percent of grade one pupils are likely to make it to matric.
The Institute warns that if the country does not manage to sustain significantly higher levels of economic growth, new Malemas will come to the fore, either inside or outside the ANC.
Malema was yesterday removed as ANC Youth League leader and suspended for five years for sowing division and bringing the ruling party into disrepute.
He intends to appeal the decision saying that the gloves are off.
