Alcoholic-beverage makers are pushing the government to allow township pubs to convert into drink-collection points when a nationwide ban on sales is lifted next week

Allowing taverns in poorer communities to sell alcohol for home drinking will prevent local residents travelling long distances and help reduce illicit sales, Richard Rushton, chief executive officer of wine and spirits maker Distell Group Holdings, said in an interview on Monday.

The state should also extend opening hours beyond initial proposals for a Monday-to-Thursday window to reduce crowding, Rushton said.President Cyril Ramaphosa said Sunday that alcohol sales would be allowed when a lockdown to contain the coronavirus pandemic is eased from June 1. Drinks will still only be allowed to be consumed at home and the final regulations are expected to be announced Wednesday afternoon.
