All students on attachment must be stopped temporarily and no student allowances will be paid in April. All acting appointments must be frozen until normal trade resumes, meaning no acting allowances in April. Meanwhile, Simbisa Brands managing director Warren Meares told NewsDay Business that the measures were necessitated by the adverse impact of the coronavirus, which has affected even government, Old Mutual, ZSE and hotels. Simbisa Brands falls under the essential services which have been allowed to operate during the 21-day national lockdown period. However, due to depressed sales, the company said it was not generating sufficient revenue to pay salaries. Simbisa Brands operates fast-foods outlets which include Chicken Inn, Pizza Inn, Baker’s Inn, Creamy Inn and Nando’s. *More: NewsDay* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
