Investigation into South African work conditions

The Western Cape Member of the Executive Council of economic opportunities Alan Winde will investigate allegations of dire employment conditions for those working in the wine industry after a documentary by a Danish filmmaker painted a bleak picture showing the exploitation of employees. Reports emerged of some Danish businesses boycotting the sale of South African wines after the airing of Tom Heinemann’s documentary in Sweden and Denmark last week. Winde in a statement on Tuesday said the allegations are viewed in a serious light.
