Wow. South African real per capita GDP has apparently been shrinking since 2014. Are South Africans really getting poorer?? 
Alternative measures of GDP seem to agree - South Africans are getting poorer.
In fact just eyeballing it, it looks like South Africans actually have lower average standards of living than before the Great Recession. That's beyond "recession", that's a lost decade. What the heck is going on in South Africa??
