Former Minister for Welfare and Population, Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi is taking over as Chairperson of Tiger Brands. Doubtless @GJFras will move quickly to persuade Tiger to settle the claims of the families of the 1000+ people killed and injured by the company’s callous neglect.
That’s nearly 200 mothers who lost their newborn children, another 200 pregnant women who lost the babies they were carrying and dozens more adults and children who were terribly maimed by listeriosis.
That Tiger was responsible for the listeriosis outbreak is a matter of scientific fact as is confirmed in this peer reviewed article published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The authors of the peer reviewed article concluded that - “these findings showed that polony produced at a single facility was the source of the listeriosis outbreak.”
That facility was Tiger Brands meat processing facility in Polokwane.
More than two years after Tiger was found to be the source of the outbreak, the company’s lawyers say they are still unable to disclose relevant records and documents relevant to the case against Tiger, because they haven’t had time to locate and identify them yet.
In Court papers Tigers lawyers say that they have identified about 6.5 million records and documents that may be relevant and that a team of 6 lawyers has started checking them. If each lawyer checks 1 document/minute 8 hours/day it will take another 2256 days to finish the job.
But only if they work weekends too.
