Canaf CEO Updates on Civil Unrest in South Africa

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 15, 2021) - Canaf Investments Inc. (TSXV: CAF) ("Canaf" or "the Corporation") updates on the effects of the current civil unrest in South Africa.

Christopher Way CEO states, "The recent, and tragic, civil unrest in South Africa, primarily within the province in which we operate [KwaZulu-Natal], has caused disruption to virtually all businesses within the area. I can however confirm that we have not experienced any direct harm to our staff, plant and machinery, nor any attempted intrusion to our sites."

"Since the protests erupted at the weekend, we immediately reduced operational activities by about 50%, as we prioritised the safety of our staff. All incoming and outgoing trucks were suspended, not only due to safety concerns for the trucks, drivers and our own staff, but also due to restricted accessibility caused by road closures."

"I can confirm that transporters have informed us today that they intend to attempt to recommence deliveries and collections of finished goods and raw materials from tomorrow, however we are informed that availability of trucks will most probably be limited as fuel supply is expected to be restricted until normality resumes. I am in close contact with our customers, who all operate in unaffected provinces, as we manage our supply chain in what will most probably be a month of reduced productivity."

"It is my belief that the vast majority of South Africans are against this unrest and it is because of this that we remain hopeful for a swift resolution and return to normality."
