Mr. Price Group Limited advised that the damage caused by looting did not increase materially beyond what was first reported and totals 111 stores. At one stage over 500 of the group's stores were temporarily closed but has now significantly reduced to 20 temporary store closures. Extensive efforts were made to ensure that the group's distribution centres were unaffected and as of 20 July, these sites were fully operational including all logistics and distribution activities. The Durban Port is experiencing some bottlenecks but this is expected to ease as all facilities are operating. Head office associates worked remotely during the unrest and have now returned to their respective workplaces in line with COVID-19 level 4 lockdown protocols.
