For what it's worth, my dentist has given up hope. Let me just say he's not poor and has been slowly moving all his investments overseas.
I'm also very pessimistic (I used to always say give the ANC a chance they just need to find their feet, but I have since changed my mind, probably somewhere in the Zuma years) these days but am still keeping investments in SA but ones that keep their value no matter the strength of the Rand like gold and silver. Still have property but best not to have all eggs in that basket. If the country crashes property prices will too.
