Boycotts can be effective in some ways though, as can culturl embargoes. My nan still refuses to buy sffa produce despite apartheid having ended nearly 20 years ago or more. 'Oh I just got into the habit'

fine...
it was very odd, starting to buy stuff from SA after so long refusing. Something that's puzzled me ever since is that shortly after the boycott came off Cape Fruit, always the lead brand, simply disappeared.

Anyway, your gran may be ahead of the curve

Last week Congress of South African Trade Unions' provincial secretary Tony Ehrenreich said Cosatu would call on the international community to boycott South African agricultural products, because they were produced in "slave labour conditions".
"We are also calling on a mandate from the international community to boycott the products of those farmers who do not want to enter into decent negotiations with their workers," he said.
Western Cape farm workers went on strike last year demanding R150 in pay per day and a coherent land reform programme.
 
At least they're reaching beyond petty party differences with their 'DirtBox Sundays'.

Firebox has closed down now. "Due to emergency extensive building works, we can no longer operate from this building. Thank you all so much for your continued support and solidarity. Do sign up for the newsletter for updates of what we are doing. Love and comradeship from the Firebox Team." It seems as though Urban75's hostility to this cafe has killed it.

Its the third cafe on that site that has folded. :( Would be really good if somebody could make a go of it.

Some sites just don't work though. There's a similar site at the top of my street which has been - in the 4 years I've lived here - a steakhouse, an Indian buffet place, a Mexican cantina, an posh Italian and currently a not so posh Italian. It just doesn't seem to work as a restaurant business.

Plus I doubt it was urban's fault it closed. We've not been anti-Firebox for months.

Shame. I was looking forward to trying the tripe, goats cheese and sun-dried tomato terrine with a fag ash coulis.

It's the fault of DrRingDing . He was supposed to be unionising the workers, but never got round to it. :(
