A Wimpy breakfast for R1,150 in South Africa

I don't believe this is correct:
According to the analysis, the price of a standard sit-down Wimpy Mega Breakfast increased from R52.90 in 2021 to R119.90 in 2026. This works out to an average annual increase of 25.3%.

Mega breakfast has been my go to breakfast during road trips for decades and I am pretty sure it was way more than R52.90 in 2021.

Just did a quick google and I see the Farmhouse breakfast, which is cheaper than the Mega breakfast, was R60 in 2019.

There is no way a Mega breakfast was R52.90 in 2021.

So basically the entire article is bs.

That is an overall increase of 32%. Not an annual increase of 25%

It wasn't even 52 in 2019

Oh right, look at that
The 2021 price was taken from an October 2021 Montecasino Wimpy menu, while the 2026 figure came from a publicly available South African menu listing.
You could've just used something like the wayback machine to confirm before publishing.
