In 2005, women buying homes on their own accounted for 20% of homebuyers aged 35 and younger. Twenty years later, that share has jumped to 34%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While this has risen, the percentage of homebuyers who were men and women has dropped from 43% to 31%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is according to Lightstone Property, whose data shows that between 2005 and 2025, the number of people 35 and younger buying homes has dropped by 58%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lightstone Property says this is because of several factors. Houses are more expensive, and banks have stricter bond requirements. For potential owners, wages are stagnant, living costs are high, and South Africa has an unemployment rate of 40.6% for people in the 25-34 year age group. The average unemployment rate in South Africa is 32.7%, according to Statistics South Africa\u2019s Quarterly Labour Force Survey, Q1 of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/17.0\/1f6d2\/32.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\uded2\">\u00a0Price comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This week Statistics South Africa updated its consumer price index (CPI) data, which saw inflation increase to 5%, up half a percentage point since the previous month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve been keeping track of consumer prices based on StatsSA data since 2017 on our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theoutlier.co.za\/tools\/view\/consumer-prices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">consumer prices dashboard<\/a>.

You can see that below and on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theoutlier.co.za\/tools\/view\/consumer-prices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theoutlier.co.za\/tools\/view\/consumer-prices\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"816\" height=\"229\" src=\"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pricesCPI.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pricesCPI.png 816w, https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pricesCPI-400x112.png 400w, https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pricesCPI-768x216.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s worth noting that we excluded fresh fruit and vegetables from the top and bottom lists because many of them are highly seasonal.

It\u2019s a 38% drop, according to figures from Minerals Council South Africa. The culprit? Lab-grown diamonds. They&#8217;re nearly identical to the real thing but cheaper, and demand has swung hard enough in their direction that major producers, including De Beers, signed the 2025 Luanda Accord, an agreement to pool 1% of rough-diamond revenue into a joint marketing push for natural, mined diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To add to the problem, annual diamond production in South Africa decreased from 8.2-million carats in 2015 to 6.8-million; while overall sales revenues decreased from R14.4-billion to R10.8-billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s before you factor in 2026, which has been rough for diamond mining. In February, a mud rush at Ekapa Minerals in Kimberley, in the Northern Cape, killed five workers; the company has since gone into liquidation, and its liquidators are hunting for a buyer to keep it running, with offers due 14 August. Finsch has entered business rescue and started cutting jobs, while De Beers has hit pause on Venetia for two years, putting over a thousand jobs on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/17.0\/1f4bc\/32.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcbc\">\u00a0Harder to find work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/45.-24-July-2026-OCN-with-logo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/45.-24-July-2026-OCN-with-logo.png 810w, https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/45.-24-July-2026-OCN-with-logo-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/45.-24-July-2026-OCN-with-logo-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/45.-24-July-2026-OCN-with-logo-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s getting harder to find a job. That\u2019s what Johannesburg residents said in three surveys conducted by the Gauteng City Region Observatory between 2017 and 2024. In the latest survey, 84% of residents said it was harder to find a job. It\u2019s an increase from 67% in the first survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we look at Johannesburg by region, Region E, which includes Sandton and Alexandra, had the lowest percentage of people surveyed who found it harder to find a job at 74%. Interestingly, Region G, home to Lenasia and Orange Farm, was the toughest place to find work in both 2017\/18 and 2020\/21 surveys. It was only in the most recent survey that Region D, which includes Soweto, overtook it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This perception lines up with actual employment patterns. A 2024 GCRO report based on the Quality of Life 6 Survey found that areas with lower unemployment levels were found in so-called \u201cmajor economic nodes\u201d such as financial and industrial centres like Sandton and Midrand in the northern parts of Johannesburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Produced in partnership with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ourcitynews.co.za\/joburg-by-numbers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Our City News<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/17.0\/1f3b0\/32.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\udfb0\">\u00a0Gambling problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/24-July-2026-GroundUp-v3-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/24-July-2026-GroundUp-v3-1.png 810w, https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/24-July-2026-GroundUp-v3-1-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/24-July-2026-GroundUp-v3-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/outliereditor.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/24-July-2026-GroundUp-v3-1-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2014, South Africans gambled about R252-billion at casinos and bet about R30-billion. Betting has since risen exponentially, to R1.1-trillion in 2024\/25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has been fuelled by an increase in betting sites and the addictive products they offer, coupled with aggressive and highly deceptive marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Betting includes online gambling and online casinos, which have become ubiquitous, and the horse racing industry, which has become relatively small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, gambling at casinos has stayed constant in recent years and was under R300-billion in 2024\/25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While betting has been on the rise, there has been a dramatic increase in calls made to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/responsiblegambling.org.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">national gambling helpline<\/a>: 65,000 in 2022\/23, 140,000 in 2023\/24 and over a million in 2024\/25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The helpline is funded by the national gambling board through levies paid by gambling companies.
