Apartheid
THE Rembrandt Tobacco Corporation. which has interests in Rothmans, Peter Stuyvesant, Craven 'A.' Barons and Piccadilly, has notified us that our statement on November 6 that it is 'apartheid-supporting' is incorrect and entirely without foundation. At no time has the Cor- poration ever contributed financially or in any other sense to the support of any political party, including the 'apartheid policies of the South African Government.
We must apologise for the implication that any profits of the.COrporation from the sale of these brands are employed in support of apartheid, im- plying as it would that the Corporation is not managed for the benefit of its shareholders and that it would support political or social policies repugnant to some of its clients.
