The cost of a basket of goods in Bloomberg’s South African Shisa Nyama Index, designed to show the price of a traditional backyard barbecue in townships and rural areas accelerated to 15% in June from a year earlier. That compares with 12% in May.

Nyakale hasn’t raised prices fearing that it will drive clients away and is instead banking on costs to moderate over the next 12 months.
