Alberts, with 11,000 restaurants behind her, is calling for the revised lockdown level 3 curfew and ban on alcohol sales to be lifted. Wearing a pink dress and a mask, Alberts on Wednesday walked up and down in front of an entrance to the seat of government with a placard stating “President Ramaphosa, please save our restaurants” and “Jobs save lives”.

“This will be my office until the president talks to me and the rest of our constituency and stakeholders,” she said.“In that letter we called for an inter-ministerial meeting to have discussions. We felt consultations were quite thin with government and that communication was certainly closed off since the last announcement on December 28,” she said.
