WAL-TOWN The Film

  “this movie highlights the need for consumers worldwide to be educated about the high cost of low prices and the effects that multinationals and gigantic corporations have on their cities, towns and countries. Africa is now the target of Walmart and if they are allowed to take over Massmart in South Africa the long term effects will be devastating for small business both retail and manufacturing. What needs to be enacted are severe anti competitive legislation with great emphysis on protection of small business with the process of protection legislated in such a manner that the process is not complicated by expensive litigation which would favour the offender. It is my experience that corporates are very much pyramid structures and the tendency is to shave the bottom levels of the pyramid which represent the lower levels of employees in order to improve profitability”
