    it's all marketing bullshit.

    A South African chain store
    . . . posed as shoppers and store workers at the Parkview store in Johannesburg.
    city AND street. nice.

    Woolworths teamed up
    Well done, Woolies.
    the store was mentioned more times than mandela in that article.

    yes, I know it was marketing... I meant watch the video... the choir was still pretty cool, whether Woolworths set it up or not.
