The SA Liquor Brand owners Association says it has been alerted to an impending temporary alcohol sales ban.

Salba said it understood the NCCC wanted to increase the number of people allowed in a gathering from the current limit of 100 for indoors and 250 for outdoors for the same period.Salba said it had given government until Wednesday to furnish this information, which the association would use to decide its next course of action.

“We hope government will be transparent and make this information available. We would like to understand what the rationale/evidence-based reasoning is behind an 11-day ban on alcohol sales while at the same time increasing the maximum number of people allowed at gatherings,” said Salba chairperson Sibani Mngadi.Mngadi expressed concern that trade and industry minister Ebrahim Patel failed to meet the industry to discuss an intended ban.

The department is responsible for licensing the manufacturing and distribution of alcohol in the country. “We have had three bans totalling 19 weeks of lost trade days, a R36bn loss in sales revenue for the industry and R29bn loss in tax revenue for government since the start of the lockdown at this time last year.

“However, minister Patel has only found time on one occasion to meet with the industry to inform us of the third liquor ban. He has not responded to correspondence from organisations in the alcohol sector. We have instead been received by other ministers in the NCCC, but not him,” Mngadi said.

You're probably paid for this tweet by SAB. They just assuming, they want people to stockpile. 🤔 It's always a surprise when he's about to make those decisions. This time, it's a well known Breaking news that he's gonna tell us what we already know ka 7:30.

If you haven’t stocked up by now then it will only be your own fault. This government has become very predictable.

Why 11 days when Easter weekend is possibly 5 days if one counts Thursday

Majority of eligible voters are consumers of alcohol. Keep testing the voters 😤

africaupdates Just go stock now and Fuck the government

11 days is not bad

Numbers are too low for a ban.

I’m in an abusive relationship with my Government.
