... the companies whose brands are used in these contaminated packaged food items - why are they silent? That's mind boggling indeed. The agenda is bigger than what meets the eye. Can we hear from these companies? I mean companies pay a fortune for branding and for someone to take that brand logo and use it...worse for food poisoning...that must keep those companies wide awake. If the silence continues.. aren't they scared.this may invoke general boycotts of their products ?? JJ can you please touch base on this matter..Thank you

ANC agreed to a mandate to protect and nurture white-owned business from as far back as 1985 in Lusaka, Zambia. They have pledged as a political parry for over 40 years to defend the interests of Capital first before anything else.

No, you will weaken South African business people if you have that protectionism. Just like building body muscles needs resistance so in business, competition is necessary. It makes the business people stronger, and it gives the consumer the best solution.

[@MalokaJohan]

this idea of township economy is misleading.And it shows ppl dont understand economy in general.organised business S.A/white monopoly does not talk of specific economy based on location, they just have access of the whole nation, monopolistically so.the worrying thing is, township economy is linked to retail,taxis, funeral parlors,hospitality and so forth.

Why are people crying, THEY VOTED ANC??? They did nothing in 30yrs so what do they think will happen now.

[@jacqueswho]

There should be no BEE, race base polictics is the problem. Stop making it about race, just open the dam economy, make it easy to open a business, it takes longer than 40 days to start a business. Why? All this BEE and other rubbish rules, just need to be scrapped and give the people their own rights and choice to grow the economy.

[@firstcomment749]

Would be interesting to know what % of BEE beneficiaries invested in developing industries with how many jobs created? How many took on BEE partners who contŕbuted to growing that business? How many big wigs just walked into boardrooms contributing what to actual growth of the company?

[@Tinker8531]

It explains why African countries don't attract investment from abroad. Who in their right mind is going to just give over part of the business to someone who put nothing in. If you want inclusivity and BEE partnerships or whatever system African countries have you expect people to buy those shares, not just get it for nothing. Who benefits from these systems the poor or the well connected to the political class. People at the bottom are the ones missing out on job opportunities because politicians and their connected want partnerships in businesses other people worked for. Would it not be better for a foreign company to hire say 5oo unemployed people than give shares to a few politicians or there preferred business friends. No wonder Asia, South America and the middle east are more attractive investment markets and Africa is left out in the cold with millions of jobless people. Inequality needs to be tackled from the bottom up, not from the top down. The more you take the poor out of poverty you narrow inequality, not this nonsense from African leaders that enrich a few at the top whilst the majority remain poor. That actually increases inequality.

[@Kulu-M]

Business understand share schemes, where it's cash, technology transfer, skills, or infrastructure. They know very well how to follow state policy. Asian countries are a good example. They did not just accept investment, they marketed themselves as investment destinations, created incentive schemes and a conducive environment for businesses to thrive, through clear policies, in exchange for shares, technology and skills. And of course those businesses that did not follow the laws got punished serverly, including the state officials they colluded with. It is clear that for growing economies countries cannot just let businesses to set up shop and do as they wish, otherwise this will result in exploitation of resources and labour, and high levels inequality. Unfortunately most African countries allow abuse and exploitation. South Africa is much much better.
