Managers of an East London establishment have been arrested after a video surfaced showing patrons ignoring lockdown regulations.

Metro spokesperson Samkelo Ngwenya said the management had admitted to contravening the regulations and paid a R5,000 fine for exceeding the maximum number of customers allowed on the premises. This was after they were charged and released.

The metro called for licence regulators to take “tougher action against all establishments that break the law as this is in breach of their operating conditions”. Indoor gatherings may not exceed 50% of the venue capacity and businesses are expected to enforce safety protocols among customers such as sanitising, checking temperatures, wearing masks and social distancing.

They should have just close it for 3 months just to teach them a lesson plus a hefty fine.

He was doing right for how long did they close thier turvens because of this covid, and how many people were there in mpumalanga on the funeral of Mr Mthebu, did they arest any one for ingoring lockdown regulations

A mob with a death wish It's OK as long as they don't spread it around before they leave

No one wears a mask at restaurants, big ups to the people enjoying themselves and living their lives. The pub owner should refuse to pay that nonsensical fine

Vanish their licence! 💥 These are the kind of selfish idiots who end up bringing about booze bans after super-spreaders cause more waves. If they don't give a damn about spacial distancing & masks, how much will they care about driving drunk? They're trampling others' rights!

And they want to cry about a few crazy hippies on Muizenberg Beach...this country and its people are fucked up really

R5000 is a slap on the wrist. The authorities should either close him down or increase the fine to R100000 and donate this money to a hospital. Furthermore anyone identified in the photo should be arrested.

What R5000? Close the damn business down. How else will you get the message across?

He probably made a huge profit, so he will gladly pay the 5k. But the rest will be paid by the life of many who are going to succumb to the virus as this could have just kick started the 3rd wave. It will end in tears!! EASTERNCAPEGOV HealthZA DrZweliMkhize SAPoliceService

Should have taken away their liquor license

Drinking, eating, singing, dancing, dancing amapiano then screaming Sister Bethina, being pap drunk plus hubbly THEN MASKS 😷!!!! NEVER GOING TO WORK, FORGET!!!

Tipical once again!!!

This business should be closed down

Spot the whitey.

They must take the licence

its a big joke - R5000? Woooww. So what wl stop all other places from doing the same, raking in hundreds of thousands profit knowing they wl only part with R5000 CyrilRamaphosa OscarMabuyane ?

Just R5000 ! The very reason why the public continues to flout the regulations - we need harsher fines or the third wave may be here sooner than we expect.

Government should just close that particular pub thats all

Well the arrest was inavitable.

the same people who go to groove in these crowded spots and post videos, are the same ones abazobe sebetetema la

5,000 only what happened to the businesses in sandton? They were arrested, Seized booze, different lawas for different ppl

Who drinks wearing a mask.. and people are not goats, let them enjoy and bring money to the business that this government doesn’t care about and it’s employees..

They take the law for granted, they thought that Covid-19 is a joke.

Third wave loading

Clearly they is no news here. What should have happened anyways?

But the police couldn't arrest the Mpumalanga premier. Some animals are more equal then others here in SA

A Cry for my beloved people...

With government so clumsy and buying vaccine online... I think they shouldn't be doing this..

they should rot in jail. selfish imigodoyi, together with patrons.

I did my research properly lisaMakT i must confess nobody handled business like you do I'm privileged to work with you, one of the best traders on here.

The so-called new normal, in which Boris J dictates how many humans you can peacefully interact with, is dystopian. Am I the only one who is genuinely more worried about government overreach than COVID-19 (a condition with a 99.5%+ recovery rate)? [Source: Oxford CEBM]
