Amazing progress by SA Wine grape producers and wineries over past decade to ensure ethical compliance via @WIETA_za. From 230,000 ton in 2013 to more that 1 million ton that represent 74% of all wine produced in SA🍇🇿🇦. So many other great initiatives. Thank you #TeamWieta

How do you help someone affected by Gender-Based Violence?
"Motivating someone to talk"
"Inviting them to events on GBV" "Facilitating a safe space to converse"
"You can't do anything if the person doesn't want to be helped"
