Sometimes…

Admin

Nearly three-quarters of the world’s hazelnuts come from Turkey and the biggest buyer is Ferrero, maker of Nutella, the chocolate and hazelnut spread. But the nuts are picked mainly by migrants, including children, who work long hours for very low pay. What is Ferrero doing to ensure its products do not depend on child labour?   Most of the pickers are seasonal migrants from the poverty-stricken south and east of Turkey, mainly Kurds. And two of the pickers, Mustafa and Mohammed, are working illegally. They’re aged just 12 and 10,…

DA Plea to Multichoice, Show the RWC for free – Give the People What they Deserve

Admin

In a stunning turn of events the Democratic Alliance has made a plea to Multichoice to provide the Rugby World Cup games to SABC “for free”.   It was reported earlier that fans are furious because they will not be able to see the games on SABC.   In the spirit of nation-building, MultiChoice should at the very least consider sharing games in which the Springboks are playing with the public broadcaster.  This will go a long way in demonstrating goodwill to the people of South Africa and contributing to…
