Purchasing power parity is the seductive theory that all assets cost the same everywhere relative to one base unit of account. This means that one cup of coffee should cost $1 in the US and $1 in South Africa. This $1 cost converted into rand mean we would pay R14 for a cup of coffee. If they do not cost the same there’s an incentive for trade to bring the discrepancy back in line.
