The traders have pleaded with President Cyril Ramaphosa to clarify on how long the alcohol suspension will remain in place.

In an open letter on Tuesday, liquor traders have asked to partner with government to find solutions to the negative impact of “irresponsible alcohol consumption” following the second suspension of alcohol sales.
