A SOUTH AFRICAN CORPORATION

You have two cows

One is a black cow and one is a white cow. The white cow produces more milk but the black cow is previously disadvantaged so you obtain a contract to supply milk to the state at inflated prices. The black cow joins a Cosatu strike against high food prices while the white cow continues to produce milk. The state discovers that you are selling only milk from the white cow, accuses you of fronting, revokes your BEE status and re-possesses both cows.
Both cows are slaughtered to celebrate Zuma's inauguration. Cosatu commence on a second strike because now there is no milk.
