Woolworths may have done it again.
The retail giant recently landed in hot water after admitting "striking similarities" between the products sold and the carrier "Ubuntu Baba".
After an outcry on social networks, Woolies decided to donate all the profits made through its version of the product.

The show of moneyS Bruce Whitfield interviewed Michelle Legge (founder of Superlatte) and Taleszia Raubenheimer (co-founder of Happy Earth People).
Legge claims that Woolworths copied his idea.
According to her, the versions of her products are of a quality so poor that they are detrimental to the category and its mark.
Raubenheimer says she is the first to create lentil or chickpea pasta in South Africa.
