People were actually supposed to be arrested for chasing profits without practicing safety. This shit claimed a lot of lives and yet no one is held accountable. We should've actually boycotted this brand for good cause they showed us they don't GAF about the consumers.

People lost their lives and they carrying about how much they lose 😏

Is that your best .?

Who cares! Lives were lost . As usual no one was held accountable nxa

We dnt careIt shud have collapsed.Pple lost their loved ones due to their iqnorance.

No body has been held accountable yet

And you care about the money as opposed to the lives that were lost

Who cares about Shareholders and their Profits? A mass act suit and more loss of profit is befitting for all the loss of lives

Hope that's an eye opener

Tiger Brands lost nothing, the CEO and the crew will reap rewards in way of bonuses, while lost lives will not be returned.

People died

Police Minister, who has been arrested following the loss of life caused by this company? Even culpable homicide charges are still OK. Companies cannot just kill people & only offer to bury them & walk away, noo! That’s what makes people to say SA is on auto-pilot.

People died.

The directors have already booked their Christmas holidays overseas and they wil be enjoying but some people lost their lives and you don’t speak about it.

Lives lost, trust lost, R1.4 Bn lost. Shouldn't Tiger Brands have spent a couple million on health & safety?

Who cares?

Mtamerri Revenue can wait, how about people's lives.

Mtamerri They can go jump, people died.

White owned corporations in SA, they get away with mass murder, deny allegations & later inform us how much revenue was lost due to their murderous engagements. Meanwhile black people are up in arms against each other over trivial issues which are magnified by white owned media.

Sies!!

No one is in jail.

Who infected who, asqhale lapho. I had to cancel khota dates man and stay way from them for months.

Your polony killed people, instead of using your energy counting the number of people who died you are busy concerned with their revenue. TSEK !

How does R1. 4 billion equates to lives lost? Where is JacksonMthembu_ when you need him, 'DON'T BUY CITY PRESS DON'T BUY'

Almost 200 BLACK people died but the focus is on TigerBrands loss of revenue. A searing of the collective conscience is happening. Are we numb to the true ramifications of this situation? Where is the justice. Listeriosis

I dnt know hey..people died..bt thats jus me...i mean 1.4 billion & people dying...wow...

You concerned about money than loss of lives..

People DIED!!!! And money is all you care about..... NcNcNc

What a Joke

How many lives dd it cost ?

Tiger brands cost Lives

M here just to check comments from the privileged whites. ...

Wtf what about the lives that we lost? Are you kidding me? It’s Sunday for fuck sake. People died, children lost parents, parents lost children. What about that?

And for some it cost them their lives...

As usual when you r high ranking n rich we establish a commission of inquiry just like Marikana ,state capture n hawks will only investigate after 5 yrs

Who gives aa shit 😏😏😏

SMDH! That's all they(you) care about! 180+ people died!

Mnxim people died u busy talking bout profits .

But the company still has Billions

Ji nnin m m nk.kk9oo 9

Who took the responsibility of the lives that were lost?

People died and you are here talking rubbish about some money lost. PEOPLE DIED.

Biological weapons deliberately put on food

So you chose to talk about lost revenue, instead of the people that lost their and no one going to jail for it 😒.

And then?

And ppl died because of listeriosis don't forget.

So little? Should have cost them more than R5bn

tessaumhlanga Did they pay for litigation?

Are you quantifying the loss of lives with 1.4 billion

When are they compensating families of those who lost their lives as result of this listeriosis.

Heidigiokos WOW ,some people lost loved ones as well show some sympathy

Akuboshwe abantu

Mohlakoana_RT Who cares how much it cost them... People died for polony's sake......

Shem

I don’t know what’s with this fake outrage,you’ll still buy their products,this generation of ours of twitter activists they know it too well,tomorrow you’ll be talking about something else

Revenue yokunuka

Nmashaba Layout 💯🔥

Did the company collapse? Did people lose their jobs, or held accountable? Is anyone taking a cut in salary/bonuses because of it? Is anyone in jail due to the loss of lives? When any of those things make headlines then we can start a discussion/conversation! Revenue se foot!

How much are you paying victims of listeriosis?

What about the families that lost loved ones from eating their contaminated products. I hope that at least they get compensated.

.....

What about the loss of lives?

Revenue se foot. People died

Amazing how people are more concerned about revenue. People died, revenue can wait

Has the boss being arrested? Declared delinquent? Fired? Held accountable?

What about the Listeriosis we Ate?Mxm!!!

did anyone get fired?

Shut the fuq up!!! People lost their lives!!

Many people died especially kids.

Konje there was this listeriosis problem, Dang what a kak year 2018 has been.

Such a little money!! Should have caused them the entire business like those who lost their lives!!

Well.
