First let us be clear on the issues:
There are two that the Mac fans in SA has:
1. The pricing of Apple products in SA, whilst we realize that the pricing is speculation and not facts we have some good guesstimates.
and
2. The monopoly that Core wants to cement with humorous attempts like www.stopgrey.co.za
Our wish is that Digicape, CAB and others get the right to import Apple products directly into SA, it’s good for consumers to have choice, that’s the main issue. Even better would be for Apple to come directly into the SA market. At least we’ll know were going to get good service.
Think about how South African Customers have been ripped off by monopoly’s like Telkom, Eskom and the like and get angry, very angry. Write to Apple Europe and ask for a change.
Naturally with choice comes lower prices and better service. This is the crux of the online movement.
Nothing else.
People will then have the choice to support the company’s who give good service. How can this be a bad thing?
This movement will stop immediately when there’s better Service and Pricing.
Core via RJ van Spaandonk can be as sarcastic as they want about our aims and our comparisons.. Every Apple tree starts from a small seed.
Love the Apple.

If Core is a Apple Authorized Distributors, why aren’t they listed here http://www.apple.com/euro/cemea/ ?

Hi Andre, thanks for the comment.
We are not quite sure, the relationship between Apple Europe and Core is somewhat of a mystery, its another issue that has to be cleared up.
