Alcohol ban has cost 118,000 jobs, says industry with appeal to open during level 3 lockdown

The alcohol industry, which supports one-million jobs and contributes 3% to SA's GDP, says it cannot sustain the ban on its ability to trade anymore and that large-scale retrenchments will become inevitable.

"With no/minimal revenue for eight weeks and no certainty of the future, the industry cannot sustain the ban any further and job cuts are a harsh reality," the liquor industry said in a statement late on Friday."We hope the gravity of the current situation is taken into serious consideration by decision makers, as the livelihoods of many people rest in their hands.

Nothing romantic about people loosing their jobs. Sad indeed.

gavdavis I don't understand big business, why let govt lead you around like scared dogs. Simple, open up the economy or we close down tomorrow, let workers go with no pay. The workers can go ask govt for jobs. If 50 big companies do this i bet govt will think a lot harder.

And saved more than million lives.
