Pick n Pay announced it would start selling baby clothes from Tuesday while Clicks said its stores were already selling baby items.
The amended regulations categorised essential goods and services to include “products for the care of babies and toddlers”.However, the organisations want Ramaphosa to make a public announcement that shops selling baby clothes and other accessories will be open from Wednesday. Lekoko said if the Constitutional Court did not intervene on an urgent basis, babies born during the lockdown or just before may be left without clothes to keep their bodies warm.
