A leading tobacco company has threatened legal action as the sale of tobacco products is still banned under lockdown.British American Tobacco SA said on Friday it will start urgent legal proceedings to challenge the government's decision to extend the ban on tobacco sales during level 3 of the lockdown.The company said the government’s continued ban on legal tobacco sales is threatening the survival of the legal tobacco sector and the livelihoods it directly supports.
“To date, no formal response has been received from the government, and Batsa has also not been included in any of the government's consultation process so far,” the company said.
“As it stands, under level 3, three, consumers will again be able to buy all the products that have been restricted under levels 5 and 4 of the lockdown, except for tobacco products,” said Batsa's head of external affairs, Johnny Moloto. He said government has decided to maintain the ban on tobacco products under the guise of limiting the spread of Covid-19 while allowing all other previously banned consumer products to go back on sale.

The fat thing in the doek will force taxpayers to pay up for her court case. She's not willing to lose out on the millions she makes from smuggling. Perhaps she should worry about her own KFC addiction rather than smoking. Too late BATSA. You have lost my support.
