The liquor industry is lobbying for people to be allowed to drink alcohol at home. File photo.An umbrella body representing the liquor industry is lobbying for alcohol to be sold so it can be consumed at home during the eased lockdown period.
The SA Liquor Brand owners Association , which represents manufactures and distributors in the liquor industry, said on Friday it was in talks with government to pursue off-site consumption.“We will await the details on what level four means for us. We plan to take the opportunity to apply for operation. We want the government to consider opening the export side of the business, a significant part of the liquor industry.
“We don’t think exporting to other countries is a major risk to SA’s response to the pandemic. The industry is awaiting details around considerations for people to get a chance to buy alcohol and drink at home,” Mngadi said.The sale and consumption of alcohol have been banned for the entire period of the Covid-19 hard lockdown.
Mngadi said if they could not trade or export in the near future, they would appeal the decision and make formal submissions.“The only positive thing we got is that our excise checks will be delayed for [around] three months, so it does lift a burden from the industry. I can’t project on the risk of job losses,” Mngadi said.
The industry awaits news about their request to have the export trade ban lifted and the legal consumption of alcohol at home.
The StellenboschMafia Broederbond is feeling the economic pinch. Lazy since their British torture days to economically disadavantaging blacks in return while advancing Afrikaner interests. LockoLocko is holding them ka ditapole. We miss alcohol but Covid_19 is still around.
Vala utshwala
Amandla Salba!
I think we should trust our people, because we don't know being sober does to consumers this was an unexpected situation to all of us.
People will be lawlessness, it will lead to violation of LockDown regulations, they should not be allowed.
Yay
Will it be a beer tent in a random field for 20 Million people ?

Once they allow sales of alcohol 🍺 believe me you will see how people will misbehaving and crime will increase,when people they are drunk they loose their mind so I wish they ban alcohol forever 🙅🏿♂️❌❌❌
Sne_journ Can't they invest in supporting tavern/bar owners, because their businesses are not operating!?
Whats this about alcohol. They are so vocal as if they provode liquor for free. People are asking for money to buy food not alcohol. Greed at its best.
