Bill Hicks "We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free." Norman Vincent Peale "Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have." Charlotte Bronte "Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs." Khalil Gibran "The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is." The grocery retail market inquiry's provisional report "Features of the South African grocery retail sector may prevent, distort or restrict competition... The four major grocery retail chains, Shoprite, Pick 'n Pay, Woolworths and Spar, should with immediate effect cease from enforcing exclusivity provisions in their lease agreements against speciality stores." |
