The price of a braaibroodjie in
South Africa has increased by 62.5% over the last five years based on an index
created using StatsSA price data.
The price change index tracks a weighted average of braaibroodjie ingredients, including white bread, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, margarine, onions, salt, and controversially - chutney.
To create the index, Johann Biermann told News24 he accessed price data for the different ingredients from StatsSA which he then had to weight it in terms of how much of the ingredient was used in a braaibroodjie.
