Shame on big corporate retailers in South Africa

At the end of the first quarter in South Africa, it was announced that the unemployment rate stood at 30.1% (10 million individuals). In the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak, another 3 million people have lost their jobs. The unemployed are now hungry and the big corporate retailers such as Pick n Pay. Checkers, Spar and President Hyper to name but a few are just not doing enough to help out the poor. Prices of consumables are going through the roof and the retailers named here are doing very little if anything to help the needy. All offer price savings on goods if you buy bulk, either two or three of the same product together. Tell me in all honesty which poor, hungry person wants to buy 3 x 2Lt cooking oil to save R6 or 3 x 1kg tubs of Rama margarine for R99. Hells teeth, these people have limited cash resources and can barely survive. They don't need 3 tubs of Rama butter. They need the prices reduced per item as they can barely afford to buy one of each. Finally, how is it that a small-time vendor at the local Fleamarket can sell 750ml of Sunlight dishsoap, 2lt of Ariel liquid washing soap, 1lt of Jik, 2lt of fabric softener and 750ml of Dosmestos for R70? Major retailers sell a single 750ml bottle of Sunlight dish soap for R27. Don't tell me that the vendor has watered down his product either. His faithful customers return week after week to buy his tried and tested goods. If he was ripping them off he would have been in trouble long ago. Shame on these large corporations who increase their profits weekly with little or no thought to the struggling man in the street.
