"asking the government to help"... Yeah that's the problem

In South Africa Corruption = Poverty. Unemployment is due to strict Labor Legislation mostly protecting workers.

South Africa is not the only place that’s struggling, it’s everywhere and spreading. Pretty soon, people will get fed up and take it to the streets. Governments are you watching?

This is because SA needs to cut ties with EU countries! This is why Africa is failing. They all want resources!

[dasifa]

Due to corruption there is no money to provide for the country. There is jobs available starting around R3500 ($206) a month. The way they treat employees is terrible and they know people needs jobs so they will just take it. The ANC has failed South Africa.

THE UK INFLATION AND ECONOMIC MELTDOWN IS DRAGGING SOUTH AFRICA IN POVERTY AND IN HARDSHIP BECAUSE UK INFLATION IS ALSO HITTING 15%

But cosatu is a part of the ANC alliance that run South Africa .... How does one protest Against their own government they run? Illogical, insane and a waste of time ... Cosatu will always support the ANC and be in an alliance with them

It's always black and white isn't it 🤦🤷

Your tripping over 7. ?% inflation? Have you seen what’s happening in the rest of the world? Do you imagine halting productive activities will lessen inflation? Will increasing the fiat currency wages bring down the cost of goods or increase them. Everyone in my state got a raise in the minimum wage but prices increased to the point that we’ve all taken a cut in “real wages”. What is the root cause of inflation and how could it be effectively dealt with? Honest questions, do the rules of the universe somehow work differently in S.A.?

250 feet (76 m) high. The external boundary with its numerous bastions encloses the self-sufficient habitat of more than 10, 000 people. The town comprises the palace grounds, merchants‘ havelis (villas), residential complexes, military quarters, and temples, each competing as a symbol of the medieval prosperity of Jaisalmer.

Ours is also not good unemployment in youth is high.

[rubyh]

Why must this happen around the world? Why must workers strike before being heard?

[bradanderson]

They need to come to NY city. Illegals are getting free $700.00 per night hotel rooms, courtesy of tax payers. All from foreign countries welcome to everything free. Biden your buddy will bill us tax payers soon.

The leadership of south african govt will surely lead the country out of the abyss and into a better future. Everything will be just fine and dandy again. Good job guys, I see lot of people dancing in the streets... time to party.

They know that Lesotho has cheap gasoline and fuels yet they complain while they could just come here and buy it

[kaizersouza]

According to WION "All is well in India."🤣🤣🤣🤣

[eastafrica]

The South African government is friends with Russia, why not ask them for cheaper oil like India does?

[andrewstafford-jones]

The UK inflation rate is due to hot18.3% - go figure.

[mzuribeauty]

Don't worry the USA is seeing a 40 year high of inflation
