In the wake of the Enyobeni Tavern massacre, President Cyril Ramaphosa last week joined calls for the legal drinking age to be raised from 18 to 21. He is deluded. There is nothing wrong with the current legal age of drinking. The president and the government he leads know this.
Ramaphosa also knows the deaths of the 21 youths who died at the tavern in Scenery Park, East London, has nothing to do with the legal age at which one can purchase alcohol...A subscription gives you full digital access to all Sunday Times content.Registered on the BusinessLIVE, Business Day or Financial Mail websites?

SA is een groot lokasie
It is about reactive leaders. Everyone knows about the liquor outlets in our country, but our leaders & law enforcement agencies. 10Km stretch with 5 tarvens betwee 50-100m at the side of the busiest Provincial road R37. Ppl are losing lives on a regular bases there. No one cares
Does that count for bad parenting as well? Police and laws cannot fix that.
Doesn’t matter what the legal age is for drinking alcohol. There will always be lawlessness as there are no consequences. And why don’t we know yet what the cause of deaths was?
There is no political will to enforce the laws of country by the powers that be except when it benefits them.
