The retailer who advertises job vacancies exclusively for blacks only, says the award “honours our customers, shareholders, suppliers and employees who understand that our country’s future growth depends on all of us doing our bit to contribute to a better environment and society that we all share”.
Woolies spindoctor Justin Smith said “it (we suppose he is referring to the prize and not their racism) indicates yet again that South Africa is on the global retail map and is competing successfully with the best on a consistent basis.”
Marks & Spencer (they employ people of all race and never specify in job adverts if they want black or white people), based in the United Kingdom, was named joint winner.
