Pick 'n Pay franchise will buy from local farmers

Speaking during the official opening of the store last week, the Deputy Mayor of Selebi-Phikwe, Bathaedi Mponwane, said Pick 'n Pay would contribute to support the growth of small producers and integrate them into the urban retail market by souring fresh produce from them.

"The opening of Pick 'n Pay in Selebi-Phikwe comes at the right time when the government is struggling to diversify the economy of the town, which is heavily dependent on copper mining," Mponwane said.
