The Thandi project was one of the first Black Economic Empowerment projects set up in South Africa, resulting in the workers now owning 2/3rds of the shares. In February 2004 Thandi met stringent standards of participation, equality and democracy to become the first Fairtrade accredited winery. Leaders in Fairtrade and Black Economic Empowerment, the Thandi scheme has been so successful that many other wineries have followed this model. With close mentorship from leading wine industry figures, the community now exports top class wines to many countries around the world.
