That CarTrack story is exactly why you should always put your health first, even if your employer doesn’t believe you. How do they even justify what they did?
I hate what Old School is doing and especially what they did to Kasi Flavor. A brand rooted in “Stellenbosch heritage” a place with deep colonial and apartheid history, now trying to commodify parts of South African culture it was never truly part of.
You can’t celebrate one cultural identity tied to that history and then turn around and package Black South African football culture and other local aesthetics as products for profit. It feels extractive, tasteless, and disconnected from the communities it borrows from.
I absolutely hate this thing you guys do of looking down on other Africans and making mean comments about their food. No one is forcing you to eat it, but you go out of your way to be cruel
