The @WOOLWORTHS_SA and Beyers Chocolates breakdown is another reminder that corporate companies will "protect their business and their growth" at all costs. Any smaller business that forgets is doomed. You can have a 34-year supplier history with a corporate but the moment you stop playing by their rules, they will cut you down to size, even if that means you liquidating your business! From what has been reported, Beyers had been supplying Woolworths since around 1990 and at one point Woolworths made up roughly half their business. That kind of relationship could fool you into feeling secure when you’re in it. It "feels" like there’s history and trust which is already the first warning sign in this story. Apparently Beyers acquired a second factory which was already supplying Checkers and Pick 'n Pay. According to Beyers, this was a way to increase volumes, support mechanisation, diversify the business, and reduce their dependence on Woolworths, especially because Woolworths had already started bringing in other chocolate brands years earlier. Woolworths apparently found out about the second factory and took issue with it. The dispute centred on exclusivity. According to Kees Beyers, Woolworths wanted the second factory closed but Beyers refused. From a business owner’s point of view, I understand why. Beyers had reportedly invested around R200 million and had roughly 75 employees at that second site. You don’t just switch that off because a major client is uncomfortable with you diversifying. Then came the hammer as Woolworths reduced its orders. First by around R100 million and then by another R100 million a few months later. When one customer carries that much weight in your business, they don’t have to “kill” you in some dramatic movie villain way. They just have to reduce orders and suddenly cash flow gets squeezed, your bank gets nervous, your options disappear, and the thing you spent decades building can start falling apart in real time. The exclusivity issue itself is still disputed. Beyers says the exclusivity agreement expired in 2019. Woolworths apparently says it rolled over automatically. Woolworths has also said it cannot comment on the details of the relationship because of confidentiality 🤣 I want to personally remind you. Corporate companies are not people. They don’t operate on loyalty, memory, history, or sentiment in the way small business owners often do. They operate through systems, contracts, leverage, risk management and self preservation. If you build your business around one massive corporate client, and that client decides you’ve stepped outside the lines, they will likely not sit down and ask how this affects your people, your factory, your investment, or your future. If you take ANYTHING from this post, it's an understanding of WHAT (not who) you’re dealing with. Never forget this and play the game accordingly 🤓

BREAKTHROUGH: Coca-Cola withdraws job advertisement after Solidarity intervenes Coca-Cola has withdrawn a controversial racial advertisement after Solidarity initiated legal action against the company. In the job advertisement for an internship aimed at unemployed young people, Coca-Cola stipulated that the candidate must be black. There is no moral justification for classifying unemployed young people according to race. There is also no obligation on companies to include racial requirements in advertisements. On the contrary, racially exclusive advertisements are unlawful. The inclusion of race in advertisements is a self-imposed practice by employers that must be stopped. Among other actions, Solidarity initiated a process against Coca-Cola at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), of which the United States is a signatory. Part of this process involves placing the company on formal terms. Coca-Cola responded in writing, undertaking to withdraw the advertisements immediately and to begin an internal process to ensure that this does not happen again. In the meantime, Solidarity will continue engaging with Coca-Cola to ensure that racial exclusion does not arise again in future. Solidarity will also continue its campaign against racial stipulations in advertisements and South Africa’s broader race-based policies. Approximately 20 companies with exclusive racial requirements have been identified, and action is planned against them. These companies are not only acting immorally but are also in breach of various laws and international conventions. This also constitutes a violation of the terms of the settlement between Solidarity and the South African government, under the supervision of the International Labour Organization (ILO), which also forms part of a court order.
