Bread is becoming a scarce commodity in shops that remain open as bakeries cannot operate as violence continues in parts of Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
Siobhan O’Sullivan of Premier Foods, which produces Blue Ribbon bread, said operations had been significantly affected by ongoing protests and looting in the two provinces.
“Some of our operations have been hit, mostly due to employees not being able to get to work. Our priority is the health and safety of our employees, and we are doing our utmost to ensure they are not put at risk. We have not been able to deliver staple foods in KwaZulu-Natal since Sunday,” she said in response to a query from TimesLIVE.
