Zimbabweans Stampede To Buy Christmas Goods As Prices Stabilise - The Herald
Zimbabweans are reportedly stampeding to buy goods for the Christmas Holiday and are taking advantage of the the “stability” in prices of most commodities and Christmas promotions and special offers.
The Herald reports that it conducted a snap survey which disclosed that many shops were selling their commodities at fair prices contrary to expectations by many that prices will shoot up during the festive season.
The publication added that prices are relatively high when the commodities in question were imported.
Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers (CZR) president, Mr Denford Mutashu told The Herald that the prices were as a result of improved supply of commodities.
Meanwhile, some observers have argued that shops are fully stocked because the buying power has diminished adding that the prices are beyond the rich of the common man whose salary was eroded by inflation.
