Coronavirus: How shisanyamas are dealing with new regulations

Durban - The restrictions that have been placed on the country in the wake of the spread of coronavirus, are set to have far-reaching consequences on social hot spots around the country.

This includes the prohibition of the sale, dispensing and transportation of alcoholic beverages after 6pm on Mondays - Saturdays and after 1pm on Sundays and public holidays. Regardless of size of the establishment, the venues would be confined to a maximum of 50 patrons. "Between 6pm and 8pm are my peak hours. They did not think about us as business people. Now I have to limit the number of people coming here. I do not only sell alcohol. I also sell food and most people come after 6pm to buy food. This is really sad. There is nothing that we can do but follow what is being said," Zama said. "Sars must then stop collecting tax and the banks must also find the way for business to pay whatever is due to them.

In Johannesburg, Senzo Zwane, the director of the Ebony Park and Midrand CBD-based Imbizo Shisanyama, said they were strongly considering a delivery service for their business in the wake of the coronavirus.
