SABMiller conspicuously absent in aid for victims of recent attacks.

SABMiller are currently engaged in a Texas hold 'em style battle for global beer market supremacy. It has made a great deal of the stake it is currently playing with from sales of quarts in township shebeens.

Those quarts are not the root of the recent violent attacks on mainly foreigners but they fueled the 'Dutch courage' desperately needed by the perpetrators.

The smoke has cleared with no evidence of any third force but many displaced and battered victims.

SABMiller is conspicuous by its absence in providing any sort of assistance at all. With petty cash it could help current victims as well as provide a backbone for way forward to alleviating the root causes of these attacks. Poverty and unemployment.
