@Markosonke1 How do you compete with a guy willing to work for R100 a day in most cases ? You can't, that R100 is just transport money for some of my guys who stay far. Immigrants work hard but there are South Africans out there who are willing to work harder as well.
@Markosonke1 I disagree with your statement. I am a young south african who runs a garden service and landscaping business. The reason why you don't see many South Africans running such a business is due to how cheap most illegal immigrants charge for their prices. You can't compete
@Markosonke1 I am fortunate enough to have selected a target maker willing to employ South Africans at a reasonable price. Also if you go to most rural areas the people doing garden services is Young South Africans. That's where I started.

Sipho isnโt even spending money excessively on luxuries. Most of it is going to โsurviving expensesโ.

As the shortfall each month accumulates, many begin to rely on short term credit facilities, revolving loans, and other borrowings to get them through the month.
This leads to a growing debt burden which drags their spending power down further as their interest expense rises.

Sipho is not even contemplating starting a family, or buying a new car or even looking at new homes. He is drifting further into a debt trap.
He is working to survive at this point, and his job is at risk in an economy that is not growing but supported on debt.
