SAJBD engage with the leadership of Pick n Pay

16 April 2025

MAGEN DAVID’S ARE BACK UP.

The SAJBD have engaged with the leadership of Pick n Pay following their removal of the Magen David in the Pesach food aisle in the Norwood store. We shared with them the hurt felt by our community of the Magen Davids (Stars of David) and they expressed their deep regret that they were removed. They have subsequently returned the Jewish symbol to their rightful place. Pick n Pay further expressed that there was never an intention to cause hurt and they have unreservedly apologised to the Jewish community.

We look forward to working with Pick’ n Pay going forward as we have for many decades.
