The good news is that food price inflation has slowed to its lowest level in more than a year. Stats SA says food inflation eased to 2.8 percent in April, down from 3.4 percent in March.

Analysts warn that rising fuel prices linked to the Middle East war remain a risk to future prices. #enca #dstv403
