Together, the newly established Homeware Division is poised to deliver even greater value to retailers and consumers across South Africa.
“Legend Housewares has built a strong reputation for delivering quality, affordable, and stylish solutions into South African homes,” said Shaun MacPhail, founder and Managing Director of Legend Housewares. “Joining forces with SMD Technologies ensures that our mission continues on an even larger scale, reaching more consumers while maintaining the standards and values that have defined our business for decades.

Keep in mind, the news media are not independent; they are a sort of bulletin board and Public Relations firm for the ruling class-the people who run things. Those who decide what news you will or will not hear are paid by, and tolerated purely at the whim of, those who hold economic power. If the parent corporation doesn\’t want you to know something, it won\’t be on the news. Period. Or, at the very least, it will be slanted to suit them, and then rarely followed up. – George Carlin

The Vatican has tried to condemn \’The Magdalene Sisters\’ as a pack of lies and that I\’ve made it all up – I wish I was that good a dramatist – and in terms of Public Relations, that was the daftest thing they ever did. – Peter Mullan
