Pretoria - A whopping R28 million a day - that's the amount lost by producers and traders every time the Tshwane Fresh Produce Market is closed down to deal with the threat of Covid-19.
The market was reopened on Saturday after the City thoroughly disinfected the premises in line with the Department of Health regulations. "If the entire market is shut down every time a case of Covid-19 is confirmed, it will have devastating consequences for producers and traders to the tune of up to R28 million a day," Cilliers said.
