JOHANNESBURG - While political parties have promised to revive the country’s textile industry, many have sourced election T-shirts from India and China.
While the African National Congress has recently posted about sourcing from a local T-shirt factory some of the material used on the party’s regalia also comes from China.During door-to-door campaigns, political parties distribute them at every house they visit.During an election campaign, the big political parties are likely to go through thousands of T-shirts.
