The Restaurant Association of SA (Rasa) has condemned illegal sales of alcohol at some restaurants.

This comes after claims on social media that some restaurants, particularly in Cape Town, have been selling alcohol despite the ban on liquor sales.— Anele Mdoda — Farah C. Fortune Rasa chief executive Wendy Alberts acknowledged that the association is aware of the claims.

She said restaurants should not break the law, despite the economic impact the lockdown regulations have had on the industry “As much as I do not agree with the current regulations, anarchy serves no benefit to a democratic society. The only way we can ensure victory is by following the laws to obtain said victory,” said Alberts.
