Local textile firms falling short � Pep Stores

Earlier on, the local textile and clothing industry complained that large chain clothing stores were importing most of their clothes from outside the country and ignoring the local manufacturers. Pep Stores local area manager, Kemo Ditodi told Mmegi Business that the company has always expressed its willingness to sell clothes that are manufactured locally.

However, he said local clothing manufacturers have failed to meet the demands and requirements of Pep Stores, noting that most do not meet the required volumes.
