As the 2025 festive season approaches, Debt Rescue’s Chief Operating Officer, Annaline van der Poel, joined Radio 2000 to discuss how South Africans are coping with high living costs and shrinking disposable incomes. She revealed that many households have been forced to cut back on essentials like food just to keep the lights on, and warned that festive overspending can worsen debt pressures. Van der Poel urged consumers to budget carefully, use year-end bonuses wisely, and stay alert against both cash-related crime and unsafe online shopping practices during the holiday season.
