...Bronson suggested that the only way to acknowledge the problems faced by children from affluent families is "with a sardonic wink."

He reckons it's the wine industry that has been slow to recognize the potential of places like Soweto, not the other way around. "Drinking wine represents a lifestyle. It means you are affluent," he says. "I could never have opened the shop at a better time than now. The market is untapped. It's huge." South Africa's wine producers - most of whom are white - hope that he's right...
