JOHANNESBURG - The alcohol industry says it is worried after President Cyril Ramaphosa reinstated the ban on the sale of alcohol.Ramaphosa says reckless behaviour by drunk people increases the spread of COVID-19 and that accidents and violence related to alcohol use makes use of valuable hospital resources.The sale of alcohol from retail outlets and the on-site consumption of alcohol will not be permitted. The distribution and transportation will be prohibited with exceptions.
According to the president, the regulations may be reviewed within the next few weeks if there is a sustained decline in infections and hospital admissions.
Alcohol has been there even during apartheid days..we were drinking..wat really changed nowadays when it is blamed bcos of stupid people
Yes wine moves SOUTH AFRICANS 😆😂🤣🍻🍺🇿🇦😷
I'm still concerned about South African Coronavirus
They got agenda ...why can't they sell online
Nna ke kgathetse ke alcohol ban ena ya lona. 1 member of family die ele breadwinner ho suffer batho ba 15 in that household. Jwala ke boo white person o reka glass o sign deal ya 2million le friend o spend R50.00 then wena ke weeknd o spend R1000 plus skoloto
Enca is yet to cover clinics and Hospitals 😄
The government will never ban anything in this world if it can steal from it, when aids & HIV broke out what was banned? . When fertility rate was high in teenagers what was banned, nothing. Social grants are taking billions a year&corruption in them is high
Fuuuuuusegi
Liquor industries should just pull out from contributing to S.A economy
Won't happen....
kabelodick The ENTIRE WORLD has been affected by COVID19 SOUTH AFRICA is the ONLY COUNTRY that has implemented an alcohol ban.LockdownLevel3 AlcoholBan Covid19SA
You buy and you go home
They must go to court and fight phela we not kids we need alcohol
The western cape can get this reversed in 3 hours.
kabelodick Im glad he banned alcohol, think of kids being left alone at home by their parents going to drink. Once they get sassa payout they forget about the kids.
Petite_Tee Just package the beer in Zero Alchohol packs, problem solved!!
they shld do home deliveries please we dont want to spread corona
Why?
Unfortunately alcohol will always be a scapegoat for reckless driving
They talking too much without doing anything... Let them go to court and challenge the decision Preferably the Pretoria High Court
It is high time that the producers of alcohol and cigarettes are also made to pay directly for the medical expenses of the victims of the users of these products. If the violence or car accidents is the result of alcohol, let the medical bill be sent to producers.
well that didn't last long
They aren't getting it anytime before 15 January 2021.

They are mad
Send this to the liquor industry.
Govt must refund Liquor license fees
Business and economic needs v/s social and health necessities. Who will come on top! Will money speak the loudest as always, or will human decency find its voice. We remain tuned.
To hell with drunkards, they don't behave 🤣🤣🤣
Fortunately I brew my own booze now... As long as they don't take away my cigarettes again I'm sorted! :D
🤣
We don't want any reviews as citizens until liquor boards and associations as well as tavern owners take full responsibility of their customers behavior.
They should have stuck it to that useless bees kak in n kop doek first time round
yes indeed we r in festive season so even three days it's fine
They must take the government to court. There's no other way coz this ban is just gonna be extended until...
Here we go again😅
Move alcohol sales to online with limited quantities per week! But then again South Africans will find a way to break the system!
Liquor industry🙄seriously
Ey can they just hold it for 14days! Watch this gov come back to lie n say this lockdown worked. Abalinde nje just 2weeks yuh
Review will be effective after 10th January nothing can done
Give it up, it ain't gonna happen. Like the ANC had ever listened to reason.
President did say 'alcohol ban will be reviewed in two weeks'. Now what more review do they want esp that they say 'we understand the need to save lives'?
Here we go again
eNCA is so concerned about the booze ‼️ Every time there is a ban, their journalists go all out to find news about 'review' 😂 😂 😂
If they can come up with a tangible solution for the alcohol abuse problem then maybe They didn't have any problem when people were partying without masks,,, such hypocrites
Lol I see the ecomical benefit of this but they are basically asking to be allowed to make people DRUNK
Ain't gonna happen 🍺
Imagine being drunk and Covid positive
I really need y'all to focus on something else.
CyrilRamaphosa just give us one day to stock up ? Please Uncle Cyril😭
Here we go again.... We heard this at beginning of first wave
