The owner of a Hammarsdale supermarket is concerned after spending several million
rands on extending and upgrading his Hammarsdale Hyper store.
The concern comes after RCL Foods,
under Rainbow chickens, cut down their man power by more than 1000 people last
month.
The supermarket owner said the retrenchment
of the workers has had a very negative effect on his business, and that it was
widely evident.
Kadodia said just a few days after the
retrenchment, the supermarket with its brand new ovens and shelving was
quiet.
He said he has also had to send half
his staff home because there were no customers for them to serve.
Kadodia, who has been serving Rainbow
workers for 20 years, said the situation is already
having a huge impact on business.
RCL managing director Scott Pitman said the retrenchments and farm sales have only bought the company time, and
that more lay-offs may follow.
