“What about the Savanna that some fighters are always dancing with them on top of their heads at clubs? Those are even more delicious.”
@Thulani68045929 posted:
“Why are you not sanctioning those products in favour of black market to thrive, invite all the black business to subscribe on a database created n purchase from them, just like a csd...I don’t understand why a leader must wear designer clothes when we have our own brands in SA.”
@CharlotteKhuma3 commented:
“Which is ridiculous, how do you financially support the system you're fighting? There are a lot of black winemakers in SA, but you choose Rupert's? Is it because Floyd has a private number of Johann?”
@bhunlesganga shared:
“Can you produce wine? If Rupert handed you the farms tomorrow what would happen? Don't insult, let's have a constructive engagement. Teach me. But let's not play politics or with words. I'm in agreement with your primary concern, economic freedom in our lifetime!”
