SA’s wine industry, a main economic driver contributing R38bn to the fiscus, has been left confused and frustrated after the government this week seemingly reversed an earlier decision to allow exports during the lockdown period.
However, new regulations issued this week after the initial 21 day lockdown period meant to contain the spread of the contagious coronavirus was extended by two weeks, state that transportation of alcohol is strictly prohibited for the duration of the lockdown and only wine already at the ports will be cleared for export.
“We are not sure why the government made this announcement so suddenly and with no communication beforehand, but we are in urgent meetings today to try to get answers, new information and find a way forward for the industry through all of this,” said Vinpro MD Rico Basson.
