$600,000 for mealie meal
I was so annoyed when he said to me $600,000 for a 10kg bag of mealie meal!!!! I had queued for 1 and half hours and waited for this!!!
The controlled price is $180,000 and only last week it was $ 400,000.
I only earn 4,2 million per month and I have to support my family. That means I need 30kg and that is before anything else.
How can I survive!!! The tshova (taxi) is now $60 000 per day which means I am spending 1.2 a month just to get to work.
What does it leave me?
The man must go and we can build our lives again!! We cannot survive.

Stop accepting cash for your labor.
Try to get your employer to give you a voucher for a day’s labor worth of whatever they make or sell.
Or offer to trade some labor for the item.
Those purple pieces of paper are worthless … you should arrange some other form of payment for your work.
