    The most unequal society in the world

    For some time agitators of discontent have been saying South Africa is the most unequal society in the world. It's just slipped in there - for example:
    South Africa still has a lot to achieve before all South Africans are really free, the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) said on Monday.

    "We cannot ignore the 58% of South Africans who live in poverty, who cannot really benefit from political freedom as they face a daily struggle to survive," spokesperson Patrick Craven said in a statement.

    He said massive inequality had made South Africa the most unequal society in the world.

    Could someone please point me to the study that has come to this conclusion. I've had a relative come back from Malawi and her report of the situation there has led me to seriously question the validity of the statement (and the severity of our poverty problem too, come to think of it).
