Butchery owner arrested for price hiking during Covid-19 outbreak

KwaZulu-Natal economic development, tourism and environmental affairs MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube said this arrest was made by senior officials from her department’s consumer protection services who conducted a series of investigations after complaints of price hiking.

Dube-Ncube said there were other cases which the consumer protection services investigated after complaints from consumers. “This matter has been referred to the National Consumer Commission and Competition Commission for a non-compliance notice to be issued against the supermarket,” Dube-Ncube said.

She's unlucky. How about all the Spars and Shoprite having no buskets and and trolleys. One has to pay some money to get one, cos we've got to get some food for the lock down.
