The restaurant industry took to the streets on Wednesday to compel the government to allow alcohol sales for licensed sit-down restaurants.

The industry also wants government to push the curfew back from 9pm to 10pm, and to resolve delays in UIF and TERS payouts.

“People are fed up and feel they have to do something. Things are going badly because people are not yet excited to go out. Unemployment means a lot of the population cannot afford restaurants. There is no support to help the industry. The sit-down restaurants are worst affected. A lot of what’s going on is no-one’s fault,” Harding said.

Chefs, waiters, winery workers, hoteliers and tourism operators protest for #JobsSaveLives in Cape Town’s CBD on July 22 2020.The 49-year-old said about 18 full-time employees were sitting at home. “It’s difficult because there are many people who are in this industry of alcohol and many of us depend on this business to support our families. It’s a lot of people struggling because of this.”
