When you say "they", which countries are you referring to?
I ask, because only South Africa is listed specifically, and as Gromit says, the country has a fairly decent GDP.
But a general point is this - there are few countries that don't have serious poverty issues.
Brazil for instance has massive poverty, but it also has a large population who earn enough to buy consumer goods.
Even in the UK - we have people sleeping rough and we have an ever expanding number of food banks.
Should we too stop buying iPhones and watching Antiques Roadshow until absolutely everyone is off the streets?

To those questioning my geography learnings.
It refers to sub-Saharan Africa, which consists of very many countries on the continent of Africa, south of the Sahara, South Africa being at the southern most part.
/// Research from the Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television (Pact) showed that exports to South Africa and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa grew by over a third (35%) in the past year. ///

Unless you know which countries in sub-Saharan Africa this article refers to, your question can only hang in mid air.
If the report referred to all countries in the region, then you might have a point - as it is, there's no way of telling whether any of the countries this report refers to are claimants of aid.
