Message from the Chairman – September 2020

The good news this month is that we are moving to Level 1; the “bad” news is that our GDP has contracted by 40% plus in the last quarter.

It means that recovery will be slow and we hope that our industry will get through this painful period as well.

shop-sa, your association, will continue to support and keep you informed.

We are proud to include in this newsletter the results of the shop-sa/My Office survey: Back to School (BTS) 2021: Expectations As A Result Of Covid-19.

Thanks to all who participated! To request a copy of the survey, please click here.

Our next Webinar will feature David Shapiro of Sasfin, possibly at a virtual AGM at the end of October.

Finally, we are sad to include the obituary for Peter Cronje, former purchasing director of Waltons and Springbok rugby player, in this newsletter.
