Online job aggregator, Adzuna, has released an income map showing where the wealth is concentrated in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The research – which is based on job advertisements published on Adzuna – shows that wealth is primarily concentrated in the Western Cape, Gauteng, and Limpopo provinces.<\/p>\n

The data shows that Gauteng has the highest average salary with R397,345. It is followed by the Western Cape at R382,353 and Limpopo at R380,710.<\/p>\n

While those three provinces are essentially South Africa\u2019s income hubs, the Eastern Cape province is home to the lowest income bracket in the country, Adzuna said.<\/p>\n

By comparison, the average salary in the Eastern Cape (R293,011) is more than R100,000 less than that of Gauteng.<\/p>\n

These same trends can be seen at a city-level, Adzuna said.<\/p>\n

“Johannesburg is South Africa\u2019s highest-earning city, with an average income of R447,857 per year,” it said.<\/p>\n

“Cape Town closely followed the lead of the country\u2019s (financial) capital city, with an average annual salary of R437,853.<\/p>\n

“The cities that earned the least per year were East London, Bloemfontein, and Jeffreys Bay, with Jeffreys Bay earning the lowest average income of just R120,750 per year.”<\/p>\n
