Easter eggs scarce on supermarket shelves
By Bongani Ndlovu
MAJOR supermarkets in Bulawayo are without Easter eggs and there is no activity in the city to suggest that Easter, a major holiday on the Christian calendar, begins tomorrow.
The holiday will end on Monday.
Over the past years, supermarkets would be awash with Easter eggs, bunnies and an assortment of Easter memorabilia, but this is not the case this year.
A snap survey conducted by Chronicle in the city revealed that supermarkets such as TM Jason Moyo, TM Hyper and TM Fife Street, OK, Buscod and Tashas did not have Easter eggs on their shelves.
The shops visited that had Easter eggs was TM’s branch in Bradfield and a shop located in the Haddon and Sly building where a small egg was going for five rand and the largest on offer for $2.
The shop’s owner who only identified herself as Mrs Gono said the Easter eggs were flying off the shelf.
“I have phoned my contact in South Africa to send more Easter eggs so that I can sell during the holiday. My stock levels are very low as people have been coming into the shop and buying them,” she said.
