South Africans are waking up to higher food prices.
It costs 12.4% more to fry up a traditional farmhouse breakfast in South Africa compared to a year ago, as the cost of living continues to rise in the country.
The prices used in the South African index come from Consumer Price Inflation numbers tracked by Statistics South Africa. The reason breakfast is chosen is that it is a common meal that many households in the country would make and is reflective of the real impact of price inflation on daily life. This means that even though inflation appears to be easing, the real-world impact on households will tell a different story.
The annual rate for meat was 10.5% in November, unchanged from 10.5% in October. Bacon and other pork products increased by 6.4% and 1.9%, respectively, between October and November.
