Retail group Massmart has commenced a consultation process in terms of the Labour Relations Act which could see the closure of 34 stores and affect 1440 jobs.
“The Massmart Group has recently conducted a store optimisation project that highlighted a number of under-
performing stores in its portfolio,” Massmart, whose parent company is US multinational retail corporation Walmart, said in a statement on Monday.
Massmart owns brands such as Game, Makro, Builder’s Warehouse, Cambridge Food, Dion-Wired, Jumbo and CBW.
It said the process would affect Dion-Wired and Masscash.
