Jonathan Bradfield has been farming for 42 years and is currently the owner of Limestone Hill, outside Bathurst in the
Eastem Cape. Jonathan farms mainly with pineapples together with his sons-in-law, Anton Ferreira and Albert van der
Westhuizen. In 2006, Limestone Hill was nearly ruined when the toxic metal cadmium was found in a consignment of canned
pineapples in Europe. A multi-national fertiliser distributor imported low-grade zinc-sulphate from Asia that contained high
concentrations of cadmium and lead. It contaminated the local export of canned pineapple rings, and South Africa's
reputation as a pineapple producer was scarred. At the time, it was a catastrophe as no one knew where it was going to end.
The problem was discovered in Switzerland while testing a batch of canned pineapples imported from South Africa. The
entire shipment had to be returned as it could not be established which of the cans contained the toxic metal. This was a
tremendous loss for Limestone Hill, as most of their annual produce was included in this shipment. Switzerland importers
form part of the ____ sub-environment of Limestone Hill's ___ environment.

and licensed a portfolio of brands such as The Fish & Chip Co, Maxi’s and Domino's Pizza, as well as NWJ, Arthur Kaplan and

not perform optimally in 2018. In the same year they paused all roll out plans to investigate the matter. They found that the
