Papraika Limited (also known as “Papraika Stores”) is the largest non-food retailer in
South Africa and is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). The company
is the leading retailer of clothing, home appliances, stationery, cosmetics, accessories
and cellular products in Southern Africa with more than 3 000 retail stores, the
majority of which are in South Africa. Papraika Stores caters for different LSM groups
and also has become one of South Africa’s most trusted brands.
The recent depreciation of the rand against world’s major currencies (exacerbated by
local politics) has sent the JSE share index into a downward spiral and the
shareholders of Papraika Stores Limited have also seen a sharp decline in their
investment value in the company.
