South African Poverty
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of South Africans and poverty level does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of South Africans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of poverty level within an area, or if South Africans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of poverty level due to other factors.
