The Democratic Alliance in Gauteng called on the provincial government to assist farmers who may be affected by the closure of the Tshwane Fresh Produce Market after a positive case of Covid-19 was reported.
“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 the provincial government needed to develop a better approach which would be to close off affected sections and implement pro-active systems of communication with clients as it was not affordable for small producers to deliver at another market.
“This response is simply not good enough, as the provincial government is well aware of the dire straits that the pandemic has wrought on local governments.
