SA smartphone stores struggle during lockdown

The COVID-19 pandemic and the national lockdown have put a significant strain on smartphone retailers.

This is in line with many industries in South Africa that have struggled massively as a result of the lockdown.
 
"Struggling to bring in stock more like it." yep, seems like stock is a problem... current company orders for new mobile devices, already waiting 2 weeks for stock availability
the stores are open, the demand is there, but still device availability problems

Don't lock yourself into a contract if your income future is uncertain.
