In South Africa, people earning minimum wage are struggling as food prices soar much higher than their paychecks. While wages increased by 38%, the cost of basic food items jumped by 68%. This makes it tough for families to put healthy meals on the table, forcing them to choose cheaper, less nutritious options. The gap between what people earn and what they need to survive is growing, highlighting the urgent need for change. Many voices are calling for solutions to help these hardworking families find a way to live better lives.
