New regulations allow online stores to sell a wider range of products except for alcohol and tobacco

Bekezela PhakathiAfter facing widespread criticism on some of its lockdown regulations, the government on Thursday moved to publish new regulations allowing for more trade over the internet and greater flexibility when moving to a new home.

While its Dutch-listed unit was climbing to records, its subsidiary at home, Takealot, and its competitors could only sell what was allowed to be sold at brick-and-mortar shops. The government had consulted stakeholders to get the proper health and safety protocols in place, which could allow the full e-commerce supply chain to operate safely, he said.

When packaging goods, retailers must provide written guidelines on how to safely disinfect their goods before use."The minister should not be applauded for doing what was clearly the right and logical thing from the beginning," he said.
