Durban - Alcohol connoisseurs are not the only people who have suffered through the liquor ban during the Covid-19 lockdown.
“Many of these small businesses, operated by disadvantaged individuals, have over the past 14 years benefited from support and training in building their recycling operations from the ground up, but now they face near certain closure because it has become impossible for them to sell their recyclable glass,” Jhetam said.
While consumers have been fighting for their right to buy alcohol during lockdown, small businesses and glass recycling collectors have been fighting for survival in a broken industry. The majority of glass collectors and small recycling businesses cannot claim grants, including UIF, because they fall into the informal sector.
