President of the Confederation of Regional Business Chambers Jai Leladharsingh said businesses have also been suffering from the high crime rate that is affecting the country and it is of no surprise that business closed their doors on Friday.
‘The death of Andrea Bharatt is horrendous and horrific and one of our country’s most promising daughters has died. Businesses have been hit very hard by crime. The extra cost it takes to higher security, electronic alarms, and cameras, causes greater costs to be passed on to the customer. The mere fact that businesses have closed their doors, it says that enough is enough,” he told the Guardian yesterdayMedia.
