While the move to alert level 3 of the Covid-19 lockdown by President Cyril Ramaphosa, which allows for the sale of alcohol, has been welcomed, the Western Cape’s wine industry has suffered severely.

Harvest is down by 18% compared with the 2019/20 harvest, leading to a 77% decline in the net profit made by wine farms.

At farm level, gross margins have declined by more than 50% to as low as R3 500 per hectare during 2020.The report found that lower prices will further reduce producer margins during 2021 and as a result gross margins will decline by close to 70% from the baseline. Investments valued at R6 billion were suspended, the GDP loss amounted to R51.9 billion and R29.3 billion was lost in tax revenue.Domestic wine consumption declined by 15% and exports by 11%.

I saw several people testifying of making so much money with the help of shantelll_142 on Bitcoin option trade and I decided to give a try and now I'm glad now she helped me and my colleagues to make R40,000 in one week, thank you for transparency and trust.

Of course. That is exactly why the anc did it, to hurt the WesternCape and the DA. Oviaaaaas.

It hasn’t been easy to keep their heads above waters.
