SA is one of very few countries that continue to prohibit all sales of alcohol, says a local industry association. File photoThe local liquor industry says it’s concerned that SA's ban on alcohol during the lockdown is inconsistent with the global approach.
Sibani Mngadi, spokesperson for Salba,said the country continues to suffer severe revenue losses and a potential long-term negative impact on the economy as a result of the lockdown. “Both countries have allowed e-commerce and home deliveries of alcoholic beverages as a means to limit non-essential movement of people. On-consumption bars and restaurants remain closed to maintain social distancing, which is a critical element of the prevention of the spread of coronavirus,” Mngadi said.SA initially banned even the exports of its globally recognised wine and other alcoholic beverages to world markets that had no prohibition on the sale of alcohol.

Continued alcohol ban inconsistent with global trends, says liquor industryThe local liquor industry says it’s concerned that SA's ban on alcohol during the lockdown is inconsistent with the global approach. You can’t compare the world to Africa Sadly, we have a lot of immature, brainless individuals in our society who do not understand that alcohol can be used in moderation, and that it is not obligatory to drink until one is totally wasted. We must now all suffer for these sociopaths... I guess we must follow global trends then ?
