John Butterworth, Fish Hoek
I think the following information should be passed on to your readers. I bought a 1.5l bottle of Valpre still water from The Galley ice cream shop on Fish Hoek beach today. They charged R48 for this. The price is an obvious case of price gouging, particularly when some water shops are selling at R6 a litre.
I hope you agree with me and maybe we can arrest this profiteering.
