Covid-19’s impact on small biz - The Mail & Guardian

Mokubela said research shows that phones have more germs than a toilet seat, hence the need to sanitise phones as well as hands.

He has also seen an increase in demand for his 50ml and 100ml sanitisers, which are now out of stock. In addition, Mokubela supplies 5l and 1000l bottles, which are still available. Mokubela said his hand sanitiser business was doing well because of the shortage of stock and increased demand for the product from citizens, companies and the health department.

While Mokubela is offering products, other individuals have suffered because their skills are no longer needed —±albeit on a temporary basis — as businesses cut certain activities because of the havoc and uncertainty that has come with the virus, a move that was intensified by the national shutdown announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa this week. As a result, only a few companies will be operating.

Munkana said working from home will not be easy during lockdown: “I have worked from home most of the time, but now I have my family around, so I need to manage my work and family time carefully.”

No. Small business is forced to close down by the police and the army being led by the ANC government.
