Government plays dice with brittle restaurants
The Restaurant Association of SA says of the 23 400 restaurants initially on its database, it now has less than half (9 000) on its books. While not all of these would have collapsed, even if we’re talking about a more conservative estimate of 1 100, it still leaves tens of thousands out of work in an industry that absorbs 330 000 workers in a job-scarce and skills-light country.
