Tungay, who owns a Drakensberg resort, said restaurants, which are restricted to serving takeaway meals, are also likely to be in dire straits.
“Even for myself personally, if this is going to be longer than two weeks I think it's going to be lethal for our industry. The banks are not going to give us more finance. This is not good for tourism at all. “With takeaways, yes, there are a lot of franchise guys who are doing this because that is their business. On the flip-side, you have loads of restaurants in smaller towns, rural areas, even in urban centres that are sit-down restaurants that don’t do takeaways.
“Yes there is a virus and we need to be very careful, but already the job losses in SA are sitting in the millions. Starvation is as deadly as a virus, unfortunately.
