People living paycheck to paycheck claim to not even see the difference between what they are paid and when they are broke, as things stay the same. Their day-to-day lives are still the same; all they do is go to work and repeat without seeing any desired results

A man on TikTok shared how SARS deducted tax money from the working class. The amount of money being deducted shocked Mzansi and soon uncovered South Africa’s downfall.

The TikTok gent shared how different salaries are strangled by SARS:

  • R15K becomes R13.6K
  • R20K becomes R17.4K
  • R25K becomes R21K
  • R30K becomes R24K
  • R40K becomes R31K
  • R50K becomes R37K
  • R60K becomes R43K
  • R75K becomes R52K
  • R100K becomes R67K

Mzansi found the deductions ridiculous and unfair. The gent captioned his TikTok post:

“Dealing with SARS is heartbreaking. How can someone earning R43K before deductions end up with only R23K net? It’s painful to see hard work reduced to eating pap & eggs. Is anyone else feeling the sting of high Texas?
