“Dealing with the coronavirus will have a positive impact when it come to dealing with things like crime, especially those which are generated by consumption of liquor.”
He said members of the SA Police Service, now referred to as “spotters”, will be deployed to ensure compliance at these places.
This should have been long done without Corona even. It would save our youth but ke because alcohol guys are the ones owning this country
Who killed Senzo Mr Shebeen
It does help to curb crime but, does the corona virus travel only at night? The taverns should be allowed to sell takeaways only.
I'm with you minister u save lifes
Sad but true
What will be the plan after the Covid_19? Is there another strategy developing to prevent picking up dead bodies?
Is it just me or is this a Dick on a power trip...
Where did he pick up those dead bodies, what's wrong with this nigga kanti
Maybe u should consider making it permanent.. people should drink at these pubs & shebeens during the day & only at home after hours..
Wow this is SA for you. Never see the good in what government is doing. Every sane person knows the results of drinking at night results in a lot of antisocial behavior. Killings, rapes, muggings personal injury, vehicle accidents etc. The economic cost of it all is immense
How pathetic. Words from a clown.
It can always be worse!
He's pushing his own agenda this man
I like this new law🤣🤣🤣
So many alcoholics crying here.... Shocking comments! No wonder we have so many issues (e.g. GBV, hijack etc.), the alcoholics don't care they just wants their drinking spots! I hope this could be permanent... with exception of allowing late hours on Friday
Killing the FMCG industry, you not only killing Alcohol companies but also farmers who supply this companies, Bottle suppliers, transporting companies. This will have a negative impact in economy if the man is planning to make this permanent. Unemployment hitting 50% loading..
This is one stupid minister who is yet to arrest Senzo Meyiwa's killers even after making multiple promises to do so. Now he thinks closing shebeens will be a solution to curbing crime stats. STUPID MINISTER!!
You shouldn't have waited for something like covid-19 to happen minister,atleast better late than never
100%👌
i think this should continue beyond Corona ,and many other nonsense that is killing the nation
Can it be like that waya-waya please
Mara those kids are not killed by Corona🤔🤔
He bathong a o serious 🙄💔
Not so much on people's livelihoods
It will never be permanent already lots of ppl out of jobs with this 6 o clock nonsense
Maybe we should start growing food on all the unused lands, maybe we wouldn't be alcoholics if politicians were not always thinking about stealing our taxes. Start growing food numb nuts and get people working so after covid doesn't hit people hard. Practical staff now!!!!
Job losses And negative impact on economy
No one said ppl must not drink..drinking places must close at 6..get ur take aways home..this will be nice fathers/mothers boy/girlfriends brothers/sistas will be home early..nomore whole nite noise for neighbours & less antisocial behaviour..this will have more +ves..
Soweto was nice on Friday nite. Peaceful and quiet.
Yes, it's SHOWTIME and 'Mr CLOWN IN A HAT MIN OF POLICE' is in de house. What a load of bull he is talking.'WE picked up a lot of bodies?'. Maybe the officers on duty did it, but he has not done a decent day's work as Minister. All just talk and threats and speeches. Hopeless.
I love this, this guy is an angel. Soon our kids will be playing on the streets safely again.
People should learn to buy their beer and drink in their houses
This DENIAL says they pick up a lot of dead bodies around 3 AM. From shebeens and the sheheen can operate from sunrise to sunset. He basically wants to pick dead bodies but much earlier. If he s genuine concerns he should consider all places serving alcohol SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN
This shit got nothing to do with corona virus moes.....It looks like it's gonna be a permanent situation. I feel sorry for my drunkard friends
You will be picking up a lot of bodies around 6pm, how positive is that?
Absolute nonsense
Is it me or you also see that this might be a permanent law? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Ya talk ya thusa virus
Is this a new law or maybe is because of the pandemic virus. Or things will resume back to its normality after this disaster?
RevengeOfTheMoo this mampara seems to have shown its not really about covid
This mampara is abusing his authority to institute this Jesus sized hard on to limit alcohol it's his own pet crusade
Ngathi this will be permanent nje
Mxm sis, you all want us to not enjoy our Hard earned money, sis shame on you
Ag vok man. Dis impractical.
