The Living Wage South Africa Network (LWSAN) has released its latest data, indicating that a net monthly salary of R20,000 is the threshold required for a 40-hour work week to guarantee a humble yet dignified existence. As a registered NPO dedicated to local wage reform, LWSAN continues to advocate for this benchmark as a crucial step toward economic decency in South Africa.
