Tesco severs links with Zimbabwe food suppliers to UK

| Comments (0)

And about time too that one our corporate giants takes the lead and stands up to this brutal dictator. Though of course, my heart goes out to the Zimbabwe farmers/people who are struggling enough as it is to survive without a significant avenue of income being closed to them. But surely if there was ever an argument for looking at the bigger picture this must be it... just a shame Zimbabwe doesn't provide the UK with a different 'fuel' supply - other than produce and fish - then maybe our politicians would have taken the lead instead...

Come on my nation's leading food retailers: M&S, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Morrisons, etc...isn't it all about provenance and 'clean labels' these day in the food supply chain? As to clean labels, we all know it means no additives and e-numbers, so how about no brutality too?
