The alcohol industry, which supports one-million jobs and contributes 3% to SA's GDP, says it cannot sustain the ban on its ability to trade anymore and that large-scale retrenchments will become inevitable.
"With no/minimal revenue for eight weeks and no certainty of the future, the industry cannot sustain the ban any further and job cuts are a harsh reality," the liquor industry said in a statement late on Friday."We hope the gravity of the current situation is taken into serious consideration by decision makers, as the livelihoods of many people rest in their hands.
It has hurt profit, just be honest. They can shut down in peace there will be no alchohol.
