DA leader John Steenhuisen says the consequences of the war between Russia and Ukraine will be felt most by SA’s poorest during the winter.
The price of staple foods, including maize and cooking oil, have been on the rise due to restrictions on Ukrainian exports through its ports.“We are heading for a bleak time as this war hits our economy and our imports. This impact is right around the corner and it will coincide with the winter months.
Steenhuisen went on a six-day “fact finding mission” to Ukraine and has called on the ANC-led government to change its non-aligned position on the war at the UN general assembly. “The ripples of this war are only just starting to arrive on our shores, but they will soon be waves that will cause great suffering to ordinary South Africans and particularly to a sector of our society that cannot afford any further economic hardship.
