Worsening state of poverty and inequality in South Africa
The recently updated Food Poverty Line Indices report shows a growing or worsening state of poverty in South Africa... With the poverty line now sitting at R624 per capita a month... And if you consider that ther average child support grant sits at 460 per month per child or that the Emergency SRD grant sits at R350 rand per month..., then it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that both of them sit below the Food Poverty line in this country... Year on year...the average cost of a basket of food....for the average household... In SA has also increased by R361 a month... An increase of almost 10 percent... SO how do the poorest of South Africans afford to eat... And what is this reality doing to the levels of inequality in South Africa.
