Cape Town - Black women in the South African wine industry marched to Parliament to protest against the economic exclusion of their businesses during the development of a national wine industry strategy.
“We are the pioneering black women in the wine industry. We’ve been around for 15 years. People keep asking us why we are angry. It is because creating market access locally and building the visibility of the brands in international markets is a challenge because we do not have access to infrastructure, production facilities or land on which we can grow our own grapes,” she said.
“Lack of land, production facilities – for example, a cellar, a bottling plant and infrastructure – are stumbling blocks for many businesses who must compete globally for the discerning tastes of wine critics and wine connoisseurs. Having access to land and infrastructure will give entrepreneurs full control over the wine value chain and the pricing structure of their wines.”
