This comes after the announcement by president Cyril Ramaphosa that the country is moving to adjusted lockdown level 3 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which meant that liquor outlets will again be allowed to sell alcohol. 

One of the liquor outlets' owners, who wanted to remain anonymous, said he was pleased that they will be operating again, as he will now be able to try and revive his business and pay his employees as lockdown regulations impacted his business negatively. He stated that he has about 60 employees and he had to pay them stipends instead of full salaries, which in turn impacted the families of his employees negatively.
