CAPE TOWN –
Women from low income families from different parts of South Africa say the long queues outside supermarkets mean they have to wait anything from 45 minutes to six hours to get into supermarkets.
Women from low income families from different parts of South Africa say the long queues outside supermarkets mean they have to wait anything from 45 minutes to six hours to get into supermarkets.
This was according to the Pietermaritzburg Economic Justice & Dignity (PEJD) organisation, which monitors food price increases for low income families in Pietermaritzburg every month, but which last week also talked to women in Johannesburg and Durban, and some smaller more rural towns in Northern KZN and Northern Cape.
The non-government organisation’s director Mervyn Abrahams said yesterday (tue) that the thoughts that women in Pietermaritzburg had were reflected in other parts of South Africa.
