Willem Petzer blaming ANC for ProNutro

After confirming that ProNutro had indeed disappeared, Petzer immediately began examining the political implications.

“You cannot tell me South Africans ate this stuff for generations and then suddenly, after thirty years of ANC government, there’s no ProNutro,” he said. “People can draw their own conclusions.”

Asked whether a private company might simply have discontinued a product for commercial reasons, Petzer rejected the suggestion as dangerously simplistic.

“That’s exactly how it starts,” he said. “First they come for your electricity. Then your water. Then one morning you wake up and there’s no ProNutro.”

By lunchtime, the investigation had expanded to include discontinued sweets, shrinking chocolate bars and several flavours of Simba chips Petzer remembers from primary school.

Petzer has reportedly begun stockpiling Ouma Rusks as a precaution.

“Laugh now,” he warned. “When Mrs Ball’s disappears, don’t say nobody warned you.”

Exports to neighbouring countries could also increase significantly.

Analysts identified one major logistical advantage over traditional vehicle manufacturing.
