URGENT REQUEST: ALL SUPPLIERS-MORATORIUM ON PRICE INCREASES

The Pre Covid19 economic landscape was a straightened one not only nationally but globally. COVID19 has severely and destructively exacerbated the situation to a virtual crisis point.

As a Chamber we have been at the coalface of witnessing the extent of the crisis and unfortunately given the prognosis is still an unpredictable we foresee worse to follow. The damage to the business sector and been widespread at all levels of business; however it is the SMME sector that will unfortunately suffer the brunt of the effects. This is a critical sector not only for job retention but also as a propeller of economic activity.
