Online grocery shopping has become more popular during the lockdown as the country stands on 15,515 confirmed COVID-19 cases as of Sunday, 17 May.

Fewer people are flocking to the shops and instead ordering groceries online to prevent being in a busy store. 

Zulzi, the on-demand delivery platform where you can buy anything around your area (if you are on the app's delivery radar) and get it delivered to you in less than one hour, released stats about what South Africans are buying during this time.
