The EFF has opposed the mooted lifting of the ban on alcohol sales when the country moves to level three of the Covid-19 lockdown next month.

Any party supporting alcohol and tobacco in l3 ,you have my vote.Eff is running out of gasoline,they need VBS for rescue.

It should equally have a say on ciggies.

Eff comrades don't smoke mos

If you do it to one do it to all we can not say alchohol is bad and ciggies are a need.

That’s very rich, seeing that julius likes his Jonny blue and very expensive champagnes!!!!!!!!!!

Smokes , money , Mazzotti and friends

Must be well stocked up on the Johnny Blue.

We voted for EFFSouthAfrica to oppose not to stand with government's selfish behaviour

Who?

This is not about the public health anymore. If you want to reopen the economy then you have absolutely no reason to ban alcohol and cigarettes. Stop with the BS.

AMABHUNGANE: Treasury orders investigation into Joburg’s EFF-linked fleet contractNational Treasury has deemed a controversial City of Johannesburg fleet contract ‘irregular’, instructing it should be cancelled and subjected to a forensic investigation. It is clear that the process was a hush-hush without proper due diligence, characteristic of officials acting under pressure. It is sad that when Dr Sean Phillips resigned nobody paid attention to the concerns he raised. Juju will go to jail for many things soon 🤣🤣🤣 I'm tired of allegations you make without evidence from VBS to ONPOINT engineering

SA is moving to a level 3 lockdown — but will Western Cape also be moving?Will the Western Cape move to a level 3 lockdown or will it remain on level 4? Nope can't take that risk bona they just need to follow this coz they don't listen I heard that in level 3 there will be liquor and cigarettes sales so do you think capetonians will enjoy not sipping. This is a wishful thinking Let's face it no-one really knows... I don't think PresidencyZA even knows yet... It's all speculation, the Politburo will make a decision when they feel like it, and only then will we find out... Then everyone will bitch and moan, and they will be ignored, and so it goes on...
