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.

“The intention to permit the sale of alcohol will only worsen the situation because even when there is no effort to contain a pandemic, alcohol has been responsible for many health-related and social ills in society,” said EFF spokesperson Vuyani Pambo.

Guaranteed social distancing spaces, including assembly points and retail food spaces where human contact will be prevented;A well-coordinated system of sanitisation and supply of key essentials which must be administered by the department of health;Guaranteed sanitation, emphatically clean toilets for all schools, including those that did not have toilets before the advent of Covid-19;Technology which will lessen the time pupils spend in physical schools and integrated into the technological...

The party added that it was also opposed to the gradual reopening of the economy which they believe only serves the interests of big business.

What about the 540 wine farms that will not be able to pay their staff by the end of June? More jobs lost hey CIC! Julius_S_Malema

Julius_S_Malema and I'm opposed to Makuna Investments so where does that leave us hey?

I don't really give a fuck what these nonentities support or oppose.

Julius crawling out from his Covid Bunker to shout out a few angry words, then ducks back inside like a turtle.

They don't support jobs of South Africans suffering by the ban. PutSouthAfricansFirst

But they drink like fish

Alcoholics are catching feelings under this tweet.

Fucking boo hoo

Interesting as long as the two parties are in favor the rest of the opposition can go to hell.

Since the ban of alcohol, more people are awake.

...idiots too

This guys are still keeping their jobs as we speak. But what about the millions of SA citizens who is loosing their only jobs at the moment. They have thier own agenda behind closed doors.

Julius just wants to be relevant he has nothing constructive to add he is quiet during the lockdown with his idiot luitenants for they cannot play race politics that's all they good at and disrespecting and disruptive politics that's all they good at and the youth oh my my my

A sobber STATE can be controlled and managed swiftly and smoothly

In reality the EFF has never been a party that has supported the growth of the Economy anyway. If they had they wouldn't have vandalized, burnt, broken... Selling Tobacco and Alcohol will generate Billions for SA as it has in the past. The citizens want this made available.

I wish they would take a long walk off a short plank

The only thing why eff support this nonsense, is that DA is against all of this. It's now all about political games, they want to proof a point at the expense of people's livelihoods.

ALCOHOL SHOULD BE OUTLAWED TOTALLY AGREED it is a dangerous addictive drug, just like cigarettes, Marijuana is natural, and has zero side effects and was created by GOD, let them smoke weed, it doesn't make people violent either, and it is medicine

Ask EFF if you want to know we are not going to be told by you on what must we comment about timelive no to alcohol sale and no to icuba

Can we search Malema's home? and all his cronies homes as well? If there is no alcohol I will agree!!😂😂😂😂

Finally South Africa has overtaken Zimbabwe in oppressing it's citizens.

Don't vote EFF, two faced empty promises blah blah blah

just alcohol... hmmm not cigarettes too? lol we see u 👀

You've hardly got anything that makes sense about EFFSouthAfrica or Julius_S_Malema Your articles are way so boring tell us something we do not know already?

Opportion parties ayahlupha coz they take things polically. Alcohol should be lifted

No!!! Please don't bring Malema back into the media.. we are all depressed enough...

Yeh right from a teetotaler.... I am sure eff have enough illicit booze

We not ready to ease lockdown regulations. Simple.

Gucci and Hennessy “revolutionaries” must have well stocked wine cellars.

My good Commander,how about those working in those industries?how about the tax we get from selling those products?

I have no problem with legislation duly passed in parliament to limit cigarette and alcohol sales. It's a social and general health issue. But they should not bypass normal rules of lawmaking, slipping it in through the back door under guise of it being emergency regulations.

I'm sure he has a full wine cellar and a bar with spirits in his house.

Well let’s ban everything that could potentially harm us. Kitchen knives, gas heaters, candles, matches, sugar, red meat, scissors, any sharp object, slippery floors, stairs, cars, walking on roads (or pavements), swimming pools, hot water, sharp edges on furniture, hair tongs..

So sick and tired of a handful of people making decisions on our behalf.

Your opinion is as irrelevant as you are

.. FINALLY REAL REASONS for opposition to lifting of alcohol & cigarette ban comes to LIGHT, and SURPRISE SURPRISE, it had NOTHING TO DO WITH COVID19, & EVERYTHING TO DO WITH an IDEAL OPPORTUNITY to trampling on civil right, self enrichment of the select few, with NO CONSEQUENCES

Own goal

Akere they know!

2021 local government elections. Please no political party will come and lobby at the taverns and shebeens. U guys will be also on lockdown. No door to doors will be allowed

Bheki Cele tight-lipped on unbanning alcohol, cigarette salesPolice Minister Bheki Cele says police will request receipts from people found smoking cigarettes in public and has remained mum on alcohol and cigarettes being sold legally during level 3 lockdown. | Day57ofLockdown Here's a bright idea for you MYANC - ban smoking in public until level 1, and make sales legal again- now you're going to spend man power on checking for receipts Unbelievable So if one bought enough before lockdown, you can’t carry it without proof of purchase? And what will happen if they don’t have receipts?
