Pick n Pay chair Gareth Ackerman has criticised the state of things in the country, saying it was"exhausting" to be a South African sometimes.
Ackerman, however, called on companies to double down on their"own work" to create jobs, make investments, feed people, and help local authorities with capacity issues, so that the private sector could hold the government to account for its share of what needs to be done. To this end, Ackerman said Pick n Pay was committed to job creation, through its significant store footprint expansion this financial year, as well as investment. He said the group was spending R4 billion this financial year alone to expand infrastructure, such as its distribution centres.
