A forum representing small liquor traders say the extension of the lockdown will ruin their businesses.

“We also submit there are less restrictive measures which could have been put in place to prevent or alleviate the spread of the disease”.

“Even when the President announced an extension to the lockdown period, no opportunity was given for representations to be made on the issue of relaxing some of the draconian provisions such as the total ban on alcohol and cigarettes.” “These members associations operate mainly in the townships and predominantly support township-based business owners … our clients have always been responsible liquor traders and operate according to their own code of conduct and under applicable laws and regulations,” said the letter.

Life is better than alcohol and traders should not be worried about the quality of lockdown that will be the most important thing ever when we are all healthy and carry on with the life

What about focussing on all the pet owners with their poor pets not being able to take them for walks...surely more nb that alcohol 🤷🏼‍♂️

That forum must acknowledge that Lockdown will ruin many businesses, not only the liquor traders, so they are not unique. The forum must also acknowledge that alcohol is not an essential service.

Life is better than alcohol people should have learned to comply with the regulation of the disaster management act

South Africa is in the top sixth in terms of world consumption of alcohol...so sad. .

Selfish bunch.

Their business has been ruining lives for years

But their lives are ruined already and so many of their customers lives too, never mind the kids and spouses. It's ok go ahead and ruin the business. What goes around comes around.
