Pretoria - The Southern African Alcohol Policy Alliance - South Africa has praised the Gauteng MEC for Community Safety Faith Mazibuko for her decision to limit the distribution and sale of alcohol while the country deals with the coronavirus crisis.
SAAPA SA’s director Maurice Smithers said the organisation was urging other provinces to follow suit and introduce similar measures to assist in containing the virus and thereby reduce the strain on the health system. “Most trading in the majority of communities is not regulated. Thus, for example, of the 1 045 outlets in Khayelitsha in 2016, only 11% were licensed. So even though such areas have a limited number of licensed outlets, huge amounts of alcohol are distributed into them and sold to consumers on a weekly basis,” Smithers said.

Court order forces a Gauteng family into quarantineA Gauteng family of three - two of whom had tested positive for coronavirus - had to be tracked down by police after refusing to be quarantined. Are they unaware of the implications or just arrogant? If they do not understand the reasons for quarantine then the media should focus more on this and less on the empty shelves. Can’t understand why this had to be done. The first guy in KZN was allowed to self-quarantine. Why is this family being forced to quarantine in a public facility? What’s the rule What is the law.
