Insolvencies in SA between May and July jumped by nearly 130% compared with the same period in 2020, according to data from Statistics South Africa.

The estimated number of insolvencies increased by 129.7% in the three months ended July 2021 compared with the three months ended July 2020, Statistics SA said on Monday.

The unrest caused more than 300 deaths and is estimated to have cost the economy about R50-billion. The impact of lockdown restrictions may be more pervasive and longer lasting, especially on tourism and related retail activity.
