FACT CHECK - ANALYSIS: South African industry falsely blames job losses on sugar taxEven before the sugar tax was introduced, key stakeholders in the sugar industry were arguing that it would cause massive job losses. Now, less than a year after its implementation, there are calls for a moratorium on the tax.The argument is that the tax is directly responsible for the loss of anything from 1,000 and up to 10,000 jobs. In reality, there is no firm evidence to support that claim – and the industry faces much greater challenges. Yeah bt it was about tym they implement that law. Food companies r killing us with so much sugar in food! They don't even disclose true information of their products so we can't even choose 2 buy healthy groceries! 20 years is a very short time to have half the population obese They shud also control the amount of chemicals we consume nd have some banned. What is happening in SA is crime against humanity
