Distell owns brands like Savanna, Amarula, Bain’s, Three Ships, Harrier, Richelieu, Nederburg, and Durbanville Hills. Nu Africa director Prudence Shongwe says some of these products have earned particular favour with foreign diplomats, who instead go to competitors still receiving supply.
During the hearings, Distell accused Nu Africa of being complicit in the illicit sale of alcohol to diplomats. But in one instance in 2017, the Burundi embassy bought 50 cases, or 720 bottles, of spirits in a single day, Distell contends. "I’m not in line to police what the diplomats do with their products. They have a Diplomatic Immunity and Privileges Act that protects them. What the diplomats do with their stuff, I can’t police," she said.
_Business Sounds like this is a way of getting cheap booze and making millions from the tax payer. If I was distil I would have the bottle labeled export, bright orange caps and labeling. You will see the change in nu Africa buying this ,scam.
