Pick n Pay will donate all profits from its sales on Sunday to charitable causes in honour of former president Nelson Mandela, the retailer said. "This initiative is a very positive one, and both pays tribute to Nelson Mandela and will benefit those whom he held closest to his heart," human resources director Isaac Motaung said on Saturday. "We held discussions with our staff at store and support office levels, and also with our customers." The Young Communist League of South Africa (YCLSA) and the South African Commercial, Catering, and Allied Workers' Union have called for a boycott of Pick n Pay because the retailer would not close on Sunday.
