Bread shortage hits F/town

With queues at bread counters growing longer by the day, the loaves are literally selling like hot cakes. The Branch Manager of Nswazi Spar, Mohutsiwa Dikgakololo, describes the rate at which bread flies of the shelves as "alarming".

"We think it could be because, being at the station, we are situated at a transit point," Dikgakololo says. "This is a convergence  point for people coming in from all over the country and from  neighbouring villages like Tonota, Mathangwane and Sebina. It is also a departure of point; people travelling to various destinations pass by our shop first. It is just that although they buy other items, it is bread they purchase more."
