Some South Africans are poor, but then again some are not. Most people in africa are more poor than people in America or England. Most africans have to scrape up all the money they have just to stay alive. They have families to feed and if not, even feeding just yourself can be hard when you are very poor. South Africa is more of a poor country than rich because most of the citizens die young or are unemployed so they can't afford money nice things, some even food. Most africans are farmers because you needn't be fully or at all educated to have this job. It does not make people a lot of money but enough to get by. When africans crops fail in storms, they became very poor for a while or for ever. Some africans can not even afford to be a farmer!

Approximately 25.5 million South Africans are poor and rising.
