Ordinary Zimbabweans have been hit hard by the latest wave
of price increases, so much that many expect a bleak Christmas.
The festive mood has been dampened by massive price
increases in the past two weeks and many Harare residents last week said they
would scale down on their traditional Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Enos Chikukwa said retailers were taking advantage of
consumers and urged the government to intervene.
Alister Murwira said very few families would afford
celebrations this Christmas because of the price madness.
Chloe Razemba urged consumers to boycott retailers that
were overcharging them, saying it was the only way the runaway prices could be
tamed.
However, Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries president
Sifelani Jabangwe said retailers were already feeling the pinch because fewer
people were buying their products.
Some of the products that have seen a massive increase in
prices are fish, pork, beef and chicken. Standard
