I still battle even today , I'm two months behind, bcos of no increment, salary is the same but schools fees increase every year

A R2000 doesn't fill a trolley at a grocery store today as compared to in the year 2020 and some economist say inflation is 3%? Economic slavery at it's best.

Inflation rate was 10% during the pre ANC regime. It was correctly stated and calculated. Now Mboweni came with inflation targeting nonsense and leading to oppression of the masses. There's no way inflation is 3% guys. How can the whole country allow this big lie 💔💔

It's been years for me!! I thought we are all struggling. Kanti!!!
