An open invite to criminals to place rocks on the highways and byways around the city and hijack a few cars.

]]> Comment on Dennis quits, but why now? by Joe http://blogs.fm.co.za/governance/2007/12/07/dennis-quits-but-why-now/comment-page-1/#comment-14 Joe Thu, 13 Dec 2007 07:01:41 +0000 http://blogs.fm.co.za/governance/2007/12/07/dennis-quits-but-why-now/#comment-14 Some questions still open: Why such secrecy over the internal report? Why no names of managers who colluded reported - could be then the can will open? Why no offer to sacrifice share options if found anyone on executive committee was aware of collusion? Why did Franklin director of milling for many years retire at about the time the investgation started? Is there other collusion on the go in Tiger? Is there other collusion being investigated in Tiger? Why was the collusion in milling used to try to make Tiger look better over the collusion in bread - these were separate people involved in separate divisions - an indication that this collusion in Tiger is not so isolated?

]]> Comment on ‘Dennis knew of price-fixing’, claim Tiger Brands staffers by Sarah http://blogs.fm.co.za/governance/2007/11/26/dennis-knew-of-price-fixing-claim-tiger-brands-staffers/comment-page-1/#comment-6 Sarah Wed, 28 Nov 2007 08:36:25 +0000 http://blogs.fm.co.za/governance/2007/11/26/dennis-knew-of-price-fixing-claim-tiger-brands-staffers/#comment-6 If only government were a bit more like business, where all it takes in an annonomous letter to bring down the man at the top. If you think about it logically, why would nick Dennis be involved in bread price fixing in the Western Cape? Tiger Brans is a huge company that owns a bread company (Albany) which was involved in the price fixing saga. Therefore it makes sense that the head of that company would have known about the price fixing and not the mother company that owns many companies. It is like suggesting that Thabo Mbeki should take the fall for the fact that Ebrahim Rasool mislead the Western cape Legislator. Many popele stand to gain from the fall of Nick Dennis and are happy to see him go, but t will be at the expense of the Tiger Brands as a whole, as since he has been at th ehelm, the company has seen up to 400 percent growth. I believe that he was not involved in this price saga and hope that he does not take the golden hand shake that probably has been offered to him to go quietly an dtake the fall for something he is not responsible for.
