SA’s alcohol industry, reeling under a renewed liquor sales and distribution ban since the end of December, on Tuesday called for a deferment of excise duty to stave off a wave of business closures and job losses.

President Cyril Ramaphosa extended an existing countrywide ban on alcohol sales and distribution on Monday, saying it has helped to reduce trauma cases in hospitals and keep staff and facilities available for Covid-19 patients.“The SA wine industry faces a grim picture of business closures, job losses, downward price pressure and structural damage to subsectors,” Vinpro, which represents 2,500 local wine producers, said in a joint statement issued by several alcohol associations in the country.

The country’s alcohol industry pays an average R2.5bn per month in excise tax, the statement said, adding that the ban has left the industry in a “precarious” state.

Now I believe what people are saying about chris_grey2 is true, Mr Chris you are indeed a man of your words, you have changed life’s including mine. Thanks chris_grey2 for your kindness I now have alot to pay off my debt I'll not stop trading with your company platform

Our country is so irresponsible that a guy has to literally act like their father and ban then from buying stuff because of how they behave when they have it. Other countries didn't ban alcohol during lockdowns, because addicts die when they are suddenly cut off

Yeah the billionaire president did them bad there
