describe the health regulations as “inconsistent, incoherent and illogical” and argued that they are “not conducive for economic recovery”.

The regulations empower the health minister to “share advice” with his cabinet colleagues relating “to the sale, dispensing and consumption of alcohol”. It is unclear why a health minister would require regulations to share information with cabinet, nor why information regarding alcohol sales and consumption are regarded as information that would need to be shared.

The economic impact of the illicit trade has also been disastrous. For example, in 2020 the SA Revenue Service lost R11.3bn to the illicit alcohol trade — enough to pay for more than 2-million child support grants for a year, or put 34,000 additional police officers on the streets.
