Black First Land First, which laid murder charges against the corporations at the Hillbrow Police Station, said heads had to roll.

Leader of Black First Land First Andile Mngxitama (BLF) believes the listeriosis outbreak that has claimed as many as 180 lives amid about 1,000 confirmed infections can be categorized as “murder”.

He tweeted on Monday morning that his organization would lay murder charges against Tiger Brands, Enterprise Foods and Rainbow Chicken, which he says has links to business magnate Johann Rupert.

He claims Enterprise was complicit in a corporate cover-up and should be treated as party to murder. He described their alleged actions as “premeditated murder for profits”.

Sounds somewhat familiar?
