With cartons of black market cigarettes — even “cheapie” local brands — now selling for R1,100 and more, desperate smokers are looking for their fix wherever they can find it, reportsIn Nompumelelo township in Beacon Bay, East London, those who cannot afford to buy tobacco products on the black market collect half-smoked cigarettes discarded by others.
Olwethu “Oscar” Mbulali, from Nompumelelo said he had smoked for more than 20 years and he would rather catch the coronavirus“I wash cars for a living so I usually get free food and smokes from customers at shopping malls,” said Mbulali. Cogta minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma on May 28 2020 announced the rules and regulations under level 3 of SA's Covid-19 lockdown. Alongside trade and industry minister Ebrahim Patel, the ministers outlined what would stay the same and what would change for the country. Here’s what you need to know about lockdown level 3.“This is punishment to us because we are poor already and now the government is taking away something that we could afford.
Loss of dignity, another victim to this ban 😭

It’s easy to make rules from the top but pointless to have rules set that are unattainable. A good “manager” reviews those rules when they aren’t working. Especially when those rules cause safety problems.
Yet another showcase proving black people should not be allowed to run anything, for their own good. And for the good of their children. And for the good of the future. Black people just somehow cannot think without a huge dose of spite and obtuse arrogance. Sorry to have to say.
So now people are collecting the Contaminated butts and making their own! Yes this ban is really working isn’t it🙄 You are responsible PresidencyZA
Funny how she is allowing exports of tobacco. Question is, does tobacco only kills South Africans?
