December trading - a very mixed pictureReaders will note that most respondents this week are from the Western Cape. This is probably because I emailed Western Cape retailers earlier on Saturday than retailers in KZN and Gauteng. I will attempt to get responses from a much wider geographical spread this week for the newsletter to come out on Tuesday next week.
Consumers face another expensive braai season in 2022Comment by Paul Makube, Senior Agricultural Economist at FNB Agri-Business
They Said It"Hi Tony. As we approach the festive season, may I wish you and your wife a very Blessed and Happy Christmas. May 2023 also bring you good health, wealth and happiness. May it also bring you all an abundance of electricity. Best wishes. Bev Jack." - The ever practical former director of the Leather Institute of Zimbabwe. "Do you know of anyone who could bat in the top six for RSA?" - Greg Bing, A.P. Jones, Cape Town, W. Cape, SA, as a post-script to his comments on December trade. The answer is perhaps as intractable as our electricity supply.
