Walmart, poverty and social capital

Walmart's merger with Massmart in South Africa has been opposed by the trade union movement on the basis that it is likely to lead to a net reduction in jobs and an increase in imports from abroad.

What has been highlighted less is research that shows that poverty increases as a result of Walmart's presence, and a study also indicates that Walmart has a negative impact on levels of social capital.

Do we need Walmart in South Africa?
