Why is housing so expensive in South Africa — even when the economy is struggling?

In this video, inspired by insights from Gary’s Economics, I look beyond the usual explanations and break down why housing has become unaffordable for ordinary South Africans. The key idea is simple but uncomfortable: this is not just a housing problem — it’s an asset affordability problem.

I explain how global capital, wealthy investors, and inequality push up property prices, why young professionals are being locked out of ownership, and how treating housing as an investment rather than shelter deepens inequality in South Africa.

This isn’t about blaming individuals. It’s about understanding the system — and what it means for your financial future.
