The economic catastrophe that has engulfed the country continues. Prices of goods continue to skyrocket on a daily basis. Despite prices being high, severe shortages continue to prevail of essential items such as LP gas and milk powder.

The suffering of the public is immense. They wait for hours in lengthy queues for gas and go home disappointed. The price of almost every food item has gone up. Given people’s dire financial situation, many are purchasing even essential food items at reduced quantities, with parents going hungry to feed their children. Families are making do with two or even one meal a day.

The government has told people that essential items are available for less at Sathosa outlets. Yet consumers complain that many outlets don’t have any of the items advertised. Even items that are there are rationed, with restrictions imposed on just how much one could buy.

Many fear it will only get worse before it gets better.
