This Is Why ALCOHOL Is Trending In South Africa TODAY! (PHOTOS) by TMKsouth: 3:33pm On Jun 01, 2020 |
South African shoppers filled trolleys with cases of beer and cider and bottles of whiskey and wine on Monday as the government eased the coronavirus lockdown to allow the sale of alcohol to resume after a nine-week ban. South Africa, which has one of the highest rates of alcohol consumption per capita in the world, banned the sale of liquor in late March to ease hospital workloads and prevent a rise in domestic violence related to alcohol abuse during lockdown. Under looser restrictions, alcohol will be sold for home consumption from Mondays to Thursdays, a welcome relief for an industry on its knees due to the ban. An estimated 117,600 jobs have been lost in the industry, with 13% of the craft beer sector in the process of shutting, while the wine industry was in severe distress. A few kilometres from the township, more than 100 people snaked around the parking lot of Makro Liquor, owned by Massmart , with bottle store owners loading cases of beer and cider onto pick-up trunks. Software developer Teboho Mofokeng waited in the queue for more than two hours for his six bottles of whiskey, saying his alcohol stock ran out during lockdown. “I’ve been without liquor for some time now,” he said. “I’m over-excited and relieved.” Retailers like Pick n Pay and Shoprite’s Checkers supermarket chain, had allowed customers to place pre-orders online for delivery from Monday. Some retailers placed limits on purchases, with Checkers limiting online orders to 120 litres per order. Online alcohol stores and delivery apps were dealing with high volumes of orders after President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement to further reopen the economy. https://af.reuters.com/article/commoditiesNews/idAFL8N2DD0LX 1 Like

The generation of drunkards Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands. Isaiah 5 vs 11-12 1 Like |

Bunch of Alcoholics if you ask me. A generational curse that is yet to be broke Nigerians drink yes but do not covet alcohol Like SA's. The jokes goes if you marry a South African and they have to choose between you and the Liquour. They will choose the liquor 99.9% of the time. 1 Like |
