JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on South Africans to behave themselves when they drink alcohol.He says banning alcohol sales again due to a spike in alcohol-related incidents is not on the cards. "Unfortunately as South Africans, our alcohol consumption is one of the highest in the world and during the time of Level 5 and 4, we saw that alcohol consumption had gone down and drunk driving accidents had almost come to a stop..."As we opened, we suddenly saw a spike in the utilisation of hospital beds. It was always going to be a risk. We are calling on South Africans to behave in a manner that will take into account the rights of other people to healthcare," he said.
Ramaphosa was visiting the Western Cape on Friday to assess the readiness of the province to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.Help protect your loved ones by sharing this officialThe NICD has another Clinician Hotline to improve #COVID19 communication and support for healthcare providers.

This was a bad move although it was a good injection to our economy
Idiots set weird rules then expect people to behave😂😂
😂😂😂😂
They will, as soon as you lead responsibly and admit you made mistakes with dragon lady, mr panties & underpants, cele etc. Put them out to rest so they can pester their neighborhoods.
💁🏽♂️💁🏽♂️
Are you joking
Really. Tell that to an alcoholic
Do you think people will listen to you. You must be joking,you can never tell people how much they should or should not drink. Words wasted.

Akasiholele loyo what's happening kanti ngaye
I agree Mr President people should drink responsibly, but by opening the alcohol you already opened the riskiest part of the economy, why not Hotels Restaurants and Salons? ponder on that sir
We are' MR President. Ha monate jwang.
CyrilRamaphosa what a joke.
Talking about people of colour. 'MY PEOPLE'
You created your own problem.
We call on ANC to be responsible, and jail corrupt cadres
You've done so well with the lockdown. Worse idea ever ! You should've let the people smoke and keep the alcohol on lockdown.
26 years too late, attitude and resposibility issues. cANCer govt too stupid to contemplate.
So why can't people smoke responsibly?
We are.
However, so far, I've never heard of anyone crashing a car into a pole nd landing up in hospital from over indulging in a pk of cigarettes? erm.... whatatwat
It shouldn't be! It is enriching the Economy. You see now what happens when you take things away from people. But they smoking cant cause half the harm alcohol does. Please, don't let that bother you.
Yes daddy we are responsibly.
Disappointed I hope you reverse the decision CyrilRamaphosa
Your Government created the hype around alcohol when you decided to ban it arbitrarily!!!! Now it's a problem because you're seeing a frenzy of people buying it to consume. Why did you take away to begin with. There was zero justification..
Noted mr President will do dat..
Got enough stock for the whole weekend my president. So I will try to behave👌✌️🤦
Voetsek
Lol
Indeed We'll Mr matamela
So in simple english he is saying 'put on your masks and sanitize your hands regularly when your drunk?'
What population groups smoking the most? What population group drink the most? By answering this we will be able to understand the ban on cigarettes and selling of alcohol.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂No words. Cyril jys funny
I’m not interested in being called to do anything. BillOfRights that’s all.
Everyone's tolerance is different and once intoxicated you will never be able to control yourself.
I can't breath Economically Mr President 😑😑
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 oooooo realy , who is he speaking to , most africans do it the african way drink , rape , steal and murder , what , anything else ?
Some of us been drinking responsibly way before lockdown
Then govern responsibly. Don’t ask us to play nice when you’re not. At all!
But you ban smoking!!!
CyrilRamaphosa you know smoking would have caused less harm? Tell this to your lead actress DlaminiZuma
Mxm
Why now? People with no self control have abused liquor and always will. It's in our nature. Don't preach to us. Rather get your useless cabinet on track😡

Our lives doesn't revolve around alcohol even though we drink. We are wide awake and sober to issues with the government of the day. People are losing their jobs it's a bloodbath. MYANC CyrilRamaphosa
the principal is in town, this is how CyrilRamaphosa and goons fighting to keep their knees on citizens neck, killing small businesses and killing citizens civil rights to choose, all in the name of covid 19, VIVA by African National Covid 19 Looters
🤦♀️
What about responsiblity for steeling OTHER peoples money!
We will Mr President,Thank you!
unfortunately they won't.
He's called on SA to do several things in the past too. Like don't do GBV and don't go looting. Truth is, nobody he's referring to, gives a shit.
Those against sale of Alcohol are just ridiculous and absurd. Even before lockdown Alcohol was not banned, why all of a sudden its treated like its Drugs?
Has he ever seen us drinking responsibly?
Were are lead
SA citizens call on this phukwit to behave responsibly in the interests of the citizens and not the thieves of the ANC. PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa
Yeah. Can you rule responsibly as well. There's no sign of leadership
Who ever came up with this LEVELS ruined the lockdown
Yes most people do. We are adults. The few that don't will always be there. Please stop dictating to the masses, for the few delinquents. Do you not have more important issues to attend to?
Good thing our nieces don't stay at home anymore They can go all weekend and come on Monday
Yes mr president will drink responsibly
