There was a cosy relationship between Rembrandt and the apartheid government. In many years the excise taxes were not increased, and when they were, they were increased by less than the inflation rate... That all changed when the ANC was unbanned in 1990. dailymaverick.co.za/article/2021-0…

We’ve been on record for years about BATSA’s charade and their co-opting of trade unions, political parties, influencers and NGOs to do their bidding. They’re very creative in finding new ways to try and preserve the status quo, in an ever-changing market, for their selfish needs

British American Tobacco says it will cut cigarette deliveries to some of the stores as it is overwhelmed by the illegal market. The company says it's looking at cutting about 500 jobs. Johnny Moloto & Sinenhlanhla Mnguni unpack this. Watch: tinyurl.com/4699ys6p #Newzroom405

Whilst legitimate local manufacturers, who employ a large number of South Africans, continue to be subjected to a plethora of regulations, there appears to be no desire to tackle the large volumes of smuggled cigarettes entering our borders daily from our neighbouring countries.

“‘Transformation’ is a buzzword and when you add black tobacco farmers to that, it can make the public sympathetic to the tobacco industry.” Is the #tobacco industry using black tobacco farmers to shoot down SA’s new tobacco Bill? Via @ChristinaPitt94. bhekisisa.org/features/2023-…
