Nigeria, South Africa and Angola are likely to be hit hardest, but all countries will see a slow down. This should help 18 million South Africans - just under a third of the population. Jane Barrett, who works in South Africa for Wiego, an organisation that supports women in informal employment, says that things are currently "pretty dire on the ground". But South Africa will still need to borrow more to pay for these commitments. And $93m does not sound much compared to the $2.6bn in South Africa.
