Woolworths sending disturbing messages to franchisees - Woolies upsets its franchisees
Even though this buyout may be legally sound in that an option can be exercised by Woolworths in terms of the franchise agreement - the respect and trust that should exist between a franchisee and franchisor determines how any siginificant change in the legal relationship will unravel. I commiserate with the Woolworths franchisees. The press statements are sending mixed messages. On the one hand Sussman says the cost of maintaining a separate infrastructure for franchisees is prohibitive and yet on the other hand he says the buyout (I assume he is referring to rands and cents here) will be immaterial. I wonder how the Sussman family would have felt many years ago when Woolworths was a small family business and some big powerful giant came and told them - only a few more months??????????????

Hate to agree with a producer ... but ... - Why international TV drama is better
... Mostly you've got a point.

US TV particularly is extremely densely packed.

And, if I might be so bold there IS a US series that holds the blueprint for what South African TV should and could aspire to ...

The Wire (arguably the best TV show ever made) adopted a simple and quite remarkable position.

'This' they said. 'Is a unique world, with a unique culture and language. This is a robust world different in almost every respect to any other. But we will not try to soften that, we will not try to de-code it and make it easy to understand. Because it is the very uniqueness of that world that makes it interesting. Therefore, we will try to capture the essences of that world in an uncompromising way. We will expect our audience to work hard in order to decode it. We will demand that they 'listen carefully' ... And, if they do, they will be rewarded with a real vision of a world they would never otherwise experience.'

The lesson here is simple ... Instead of trying to water down our South African stories - making them generic and easily accessible to the widest possible audience (at home and abroad) ... we should celebrate the things that make our own communities unique, and use the medium to take people into those unvarnished worlds.

The richness of the language, the diversity of attitude and opinion and opportunity - these are not things to be denied or hidden behind a false façade of Castle Larger Ad reality ... These differences are the things we should embrace and celebrate.

Our stories would be stronger for it and we would perhaps understand each other a little better if we were all asked to make the effort to 'listen carefully'

Go watch the Wire, then tell me why we have not already put a couch in the middle of some open ground and waited to see just who came to sit there and just what they had to say ...
