This comes after the government refused to increase salaries for civil servants and further approved Gazettes allowing private companies to \u2018under-pay\u2019 workers, some employees earn as little as R1,100. per month.<\/p>\n

“The increase has been necessitated by the escalation of raw materials such as wheat, flour and premix amongst other ingredients used in bread production”, reads the statement in part.<\/p>\n

Reached for comments,Pius Vilakati,the Spokeperson of the Communist Party of Swaziland(CPS) said life for ordinary swazis who are the majority poor and oppressed would worsen with the increase of bread prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will get worse because even petrol prices are going up.Meanwhile Mswati\u2019s Government is spending on unnecessary airplanes while the majority lacks basic needs”, he said<\/p>\n
