The decision by the government to continue the ban on the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products has been met with anger from the tobacco industry. kgmadisa IsaacPat

The IFP said they believed the move to lockdown alert level 3 was premature and therefore required special attention to detail and careful consideration if the government was to continue saving lives.

"Alcohol may be sold for home consumption only under strict conditions, on specified days and for limited hours. Announcements in this regard will be made once we have concluded discussions with the sector on the various conditions," said Ramaphosa, adding that the ban on church gatherings stood. The president said even though the entire country would be on alert level 3, it was important that South Africans be aware that there were parts of the country where the disease was concentrated, with infections continuing to rise.

He said some of the hotspots were metros such as Tshwane, Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, eThekwini, Nelson Mandela Bay, Buffalo City and Cape Town. The president said the government had known all along that the lockdown's intention was to delay the spread of the virus and that it would not be able to stop it. He said the lockdown can't be sustained indefinitely.

Tobacco industry makes people sick: Jessie Duarte backs Dlamini-ZumaThe move by Duarte comes amid reports that Dlamini-Zuma was mobilising her Covid-19 national command council colleagues to throw their weight behind a continued ban on the sale of cigarettes and alcohol until level one of the lockdown. NDZ must take a chill... she must stop using this pandemic to pretend that she is this powerful woman in the ANC. She is not the president and the sooner she gets that into her old skull the better. Jesse your continuous support of dodgy Zumas make us all sick. That is good news
