Increase in complaints due to exorbitant food prices
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
Have you experienced a hike in food prices recently?
Doing the weekly essential grocery run has turned out to be more stressful than ever.
Certain food prices have gone through the roof and citizens aren't happy about it.
The ANC’s Deputy Secretary-General, Jessie Duarte, says this is not the time to increase food prices.
“We must appeal to all retail stores to take into account that these are special circumstances, these are extraordinary circumstances and while the government is leaving no-one out, food retailers must also make sure that no one is unable to buy food,” says Duarte.
