Pick n Pay’s chairman has raised concern over food shortages in the country.
CEOs in the retail and agriculture industries have raised concerns over load shedding, which could lead to less food on store shelves across the country.
Possible food shortages may be on the horizon, which could lead to cases of social unrest and possible store closures – if rolling blackouts increase further in intensity and severity. “I feel compelled to caution that the entire food industry is under existential threat,” the chairman said.
