#Lockdown: Traders plead for no alcohol ban─── 10:55 Sun, 27 Dec 2020
Liquor traders are pleading with the government to be allowed to continue with off-premises alcohol sales.
This as the country navigates the second wave of Covid-19 and rumours of imminent harder lockdown.
The organisation says a total shut-down of liquor sales will mean the loss of 250,000 direct jobs. Lucky Ntimane from the Liquor Traders Formation says he believes there is truth to the rumours, and they are making a pre-emptive plea.
