It's not everyone who is celebrating the re-opening of cigarettes sales.

At this hawker's stall in Roodepoort, cigarettes are now on display again and the price for a loose smoke has dropped from R5 to R3.Sabelo Radebe* said for him it means the end of a thriving business selling loose cigarettes for ballooned prices.“I was going through a few boxes every day, but now things will definitely slow down. It hasn't been that busy this morning,” he said.

Asked whether he feared being arrested for selling cigarettes during the lockdown, Sabelo said he was not worried. “You don't put your cigarettes out in the open. I only took them out when someone wanted to buy. Besides, cops also needed to smoke,” he said with a chuckle.
