Road Toll Fees To Increase In Mpumalanga Province

The road toll fees are due to increase from 1 March 2009.This is directly going to impact on the pricing of our African Crafts products which we sell from the Mpumalanga Crafts Market.We normally drive there to pick up items which we have sold and the toll fees are already high.We are not going to increase our prices yet but will wait to see how much of an impact it has.We will instead try and keep more stock at our despatch area in Pretoria so we will pick up more items at one time and decrease the cost per item.This is also bad news for the many South Africans from the Gauteng area who spend a lot of their holidays in Mpumalanga as it is the closest scenic province to the Gautengers.This global recession is showing no signs of easing up.Wish we knew how much longer this is going to take..........
