The hospitality industry hopes to have opened an effective channel of communication with Tourism Minister Nkhensani Kubayi-Ngubane after this week’s protests by restaurateurs who set out tables outside their premises.

Durban –

“We’ve had to do hops, skips and jumps between ministers and eventually it all falls back to Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma in terms of the Disaster Act.” “It did make the media expose our plight,” Mike Holland, owner of Next Chapter in Florida Road, told The Independent on Saturday. “I’m hopeful. At some point this has to change from a medical imposition to an economic imposition; avoid people dying of Covid-19 or dying of starvation.”

George Lithglow, from the Giorgio’s in eManzimtoti, who did participate in the protest, said he could not see the government lifting the alcohol ban because of a few restaurants.
