The South African alcohol industry says it will invest a minimum of R150m in harm-reduction programmes over the next year.

“Various brands have introduced reduced alcohol products and 0% alcohol products to encourage responsible drinking habits.”

“The industry is committed to partnering with government and civil society in addressing the issue of gender-based violence and femicide,” he said. “Dialogues with tavern owners are currently under way to explore the best measures and the role that outlet owners can play in an effort to curb gender-based violence. This process will be used to facilitate dialogue with government on how the industry can provide support with the implementation of the national strategic plan on gender-based violence and femicide.”
