POPCRU on Israeli-led attempts to take over Clover
20 February 2019
The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (POPCRU) joins other progressive trade unions and South Africans in condemning the Israeli-led attempt to take over our dairy company Clover Industries.
The Israeli company in question is the notorious Central Bottling Company (CBC).
It is our understanding that the South African partner in this sinister move, Brimstone Investments, has taken a decision to “review” its participation in the deal, which was largely influenced by the response of our vibrant civil society, in opposition of this move.
Because of our convictions and support for internationalism and the Palestinian people, we support the call to “actively initiate, support and or join the call for direct-action and a militant but peaceful campaign, including protests and disruptions, against Clover and a boycott of all its products” being made by the broader South African civil society if this take-over of Clover by the Israeli Company CBC goes through.
