AS ‘back to school’ fever sweeps across the country, Durban parents could be seen shopping up a storm this week as they purchased school uniforms in preparation for the first term of 2016 which starts next week.
Gem Schoolwear in Overport once again proved to be a popular one-stop shop for most parents who needed to kit out children with school uniforms.
Manager, Muhammed Patel, said Gem was proud that all garments sold at the shop were made in South Africa.
Parents kitting out children for school will have to dig deep in pockets for school items.
