Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The high demand in the run-up to Christmas has caused the price of basic communities and clothing to rise sharply in Yambio town of Western Equatoria State.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Thursday, several citizens said that prices of clothing and essential commodities such as cooking oil, sugar, tea leaves salt have marginally increased.<\/p>\n

Martin John Tambua, a resident of Yambio County, said: \u201cOur condition is too much, the money I have is little, it cannot help at all, because when someone has some money and wants to buy things in the market, the money is finished after buying one item.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to the market with 15,000 SSP, and this 15,000 SSP bought only two clothes. The security situation is good, but prices have increased a lot,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Liticia Nakere, who was in the marketing to buy clothes for her children, said she was not able to buy the clothes from the shop due to the high prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue is that they cannot reduce the price. You cannot get shoes for girls at 7,500 SSP and for boys for 8,000 SSP. I cannot afford those things. I bought second-hand clothes for them, only shoes that I need to buy in the shop,\u201d Liticia said.<\/p>\n

For his part, Mr Mohamed Iron, a foreign trader in Yambio, said the unfavourable US dollar rate has affected the businesses and prices in the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cShoes used to be sold at 5,000 SSP or 4,000 SSP, but now as the dollar rate rises, a pair of shoes is now 8,000 SSP. However, we appeal to our customers to come to buy. If the price is high, please tell us, and we will try to bargain,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Queen Elizabeth, who owns a saloon in Yambio town, said: \u201cAt this time, hair plaiting is 4,000 SSP or 3,000 SSP and others charge 5,000 SSP or 7,000 SSP. For washing, we charge 3,000 SSP, and we have nail styles, but the price has not been increased according to the US dollar rate. We work with South Sudanese Pounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

South Sudan has been experiencing inconsistent and rampant inflation. It is highly dependent on imported supplies from neighbouring countries, notably Uganda and Kenya.<\/p>\n
