Fair pay for rooibos tea

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Fair pay for rooibos tea

We hear from the people who discovered rooibos tea and are now being paid back by farmers.

The Khoi and San people, who discovered rooibos tea, have only recently started receiving a share of the industry's multimillion-pound profits. 

They tell us about their fight to get the money they're owed and we hear from the rooibos farmers who are now having to pay out. We also find out what this deal could mean for other indigenous groups in a similar situation.
