THE BIG LITTLE LIES WE TELL OURSELVES ABOUT DEBT

EVERYONE HAS

SOME DEBT

24 Million South Africans are credit users (so, around 1

in every 3). Out of those 24 million many have missed

a payment or two as they struggle to decide who to

pay this month with the income they receive. Around

9.6 million people are behind on debt repayments by 3

months or more.

7 Million people have credit cards, and on average owe R20 000

each.

6.7 Million have personal loans and owe on average R45 000 each.

And those are just the loans in the ‘formal’ sector, which reports

to the NCR, and does not cover loans to family members of local

Mashonisas.
