In 2025, the South African Rand took a historic nosedive, reaching its lowest point ever against the euro and pound.

However, this plan has met fierce opposition from the Democratic Alliance party, which argues it will unfairly burden the poor. As tensions rise within the coalition government, this issue reflects deeper struggles for fairness and justice in a nation still healing from past inequalities.
