I thought Woolies was doing this for a while. I mean, FFS invest locally please instead of in the Chinese and their sweatshops! Sure it's instant profit to have it brought in from overseas at a fraction of the cost, but do something similar here and provide people with bloody jobs.

Proudly (NOT) South African products...
