Thandiswa Mazwai Cries Out To The Government To Intervene Against Panic Buying – The rise of the Corona Virus has created panic and it is starting to show.

The CoronaVirusOutbreak has elevated Panic buying, a fraction of South Africans have resorted to people overstocking and a few celebrities raising their concerns, with musician Thandiswa Mazwai calling the act a “crime”.

South Africa was left astonished following images and visuals of people “clearing out shelves” at supermarkets made the rounds on social media this week.

“This should be a crime at a time like this. Government, please stop this now. All these rich folks with access cannot take up everything at the expense of a large majority of poor people in this country. No!” Thandiswa narrated, sharing a picture of people queuing with groceries.

A follower then brought to Thandiswa’s attention that one retailer, Pick n Pay, had placed a restriction on how many items each customer was allowed to purchase.

Thandiswa replied: “Responsible, because they are gonna make all the money we will be losing trying to stay safe.”
