Consumers can breathe a sigh of relief as inflation is surprisingly on the downside contrary to economists’ expectations. The annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February, remained unchanged at 5.7%, from 5.7% in January 2022.

The main contributors to the annual inflation rate came from an increase in food and non-alcoholic beverages, transport, housing and utilities, as well as miscellaneous goods and services.

Hayi niyanya mani. The government protected the consumer price index by increasing the cost of food and other consumables. They only care about numbers and not the cost of living for the poor people of South Africa

I heard in the US they fake inflation numbers as they don't want people to know how poorer they're getting cos they might start a revolution...I wouldn't put South Africa past that...

Change or no change we dont care .I die die

Im willing to be an errand boy, a gardener or any form of odd job just to feed my children🙏🏾. They've been going to school and back on an empty stomach and that cripples me as a father. I humbly ask for any tinned food or grocer you don't need🙏
