Young people across southern Africa are finding it harder to stand on their own feet as living costs soar while salaries stagnate.A new South African report shows Gen Z graduates earn nearly the same as people did 20 years ago, despite the cost of living having tripled.In Namibia, it’s a similar story, with the average rent now topping N$7 300 per month, leaving many young people unable to afford living on their own.
