Stock photo.The beer industry has called for the lockdown ban on alcohol sales to be lifted so legal businesses can operate to avoid further damage to the industry and the millions of livelihoods it supports.
The organisations also want to discuss alternative interventions that could save lives and livelihoods during the Covid-19 pandemic. Basa said it had been inundated with stories from craft brewers whose businesses were devastated by the latest ban just as they were slowly getting back on their feet after the previous three bans.
Alcohol ban alone under the draconian level 4 has sabotaged, killed, looted, and destroyed many businesses than the recent 'shop looting' saga. Unfortunately no insurance payouts on the liquor trade died from Covid-19
Lockdown is illegal by the way.
Dear dictator, one day you pay for everything. Time always wins.

Bring back our business
The biggest question is does the government care about South African Businesses ?
SAB is like a crying baby or those little dogs that normally stay in the house barking. They have never did any serious action for their customers against the Government. All what they do is to complain under blankets. They must just sale alcohol and deliver as usual.
I agree, someone phoned hubby last night at 11h50, and ask if he got some alcohol at work and he can come and fetch it. I realize this is serious issue for some people.
