The industry has recommended that a total ban on alcohol not be put in place, arguing that as much as lives need to be saved, livelihoods also need to be protected.

The alcohol industry also said a total ban of sales in Gauteng, which is facing a storm of infections, could encourage interprovincial travel to surrounding provinces like the Free State, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West at a time when this should be kept to a minimum.

Registered micro alcohol producers be allowed to continue to operate as per the current level 3 restrictions. The industry said it also supports the call for employers to implement a work from home principle wherever it is possible. “We will be encouraging all players within our value chain — who collectively support one million jobs — to implement the work from measures as much as it is possible.”
