Are we suprised?

Only in South Africa this is happening,they don’t care 😳they only care about is drinking,what a shame

Not criminals ..... small business people dat are forced to find other means of putting bread on the table.... kusazonyiwa...nyiii

Please sell alcohol because if do not sell alcohol people they will stole again

BARbaric

Nanny state. Cele should stick to enforcing law, not making idiotic statements🤔

I have an idea for PicknPay and spar/tops give away your stock but sell water...e.g : I buy a bottle of water R300 but I get 24x corona as a promotional sale (free) ,my bill is for water ,both of us are technically with in the law ,I didn't buy you didnt sell alcohol

Normal ppl ....not crinimals...

It's always been coming

This should have been expected when the decision was made. I understand that certain people in South Africa have hooligan manners, but now the good ones must suffer as well.

No surprise!! The government brought this upon the country. Let the people drink/smoke. Why remove coping mechanisms — of course it will drive thousands insane! 🤷🏻‍♀️

What did u expect..... Did u not hear about the prohibition that happened in history......

They must make a plan for alcohol please we're dying of thirsty

Why do You guys put on the negative known news all the time😳😑 hai niya bhora Nani shem😒... Mzansi is going through the most and you tell us what we already know... Poor Can the Cup look Half Full a bit tho... tellusnews

Liquor store looted. WCP SAcans they're hungry of 🥂🍺🍷🍾😀😷 not foods

Bad bad yhoo

Its lie. No criminal is targeting liquor store. Its just citizens that r doing that They are bored, give them alcohol then you can close down the country as long as you want.

Alcoholics most probably; should they get caught; assess their normal behavior

Let me use this video to emphasize that loss of focus and undermining the efforts that are meant to save our lives and to keep us sober in order to win this war, could be deadly. Could we really not afford to sacrifice certain things for this moment in order to save our lives?

Wtf did you expect........

Wonder why?

That's what happens when you force addicts of a substance to quit without consent and without proper counselling. They will risk it all for a fix.

Did not see that one coming.

Now these Criminals have found a way of making money selling the stolen liquor to local tarven owners.

It’s because of GenBheki_Cele and his lack of leadership. To think that we begged for him to come back wen Zuma threw him off the streets.

Just open the stores government looses millions and millions off Rands they can get in from the VAT. Money they can use to help others.

Not criminals but your ordinary citizens who are being forced to bow to draconian rules that has no bearing on Covid 19. Neither do sigarettes.

This lockdown will never be effective if liqour stores are allowed to re-open.

Where are police

AMANDLA comrades, we re thirsty and craving for cigarettes. If they don't listen, revolution would be needed indeed. Serious drug users are still getting their supply easily.

FatalMoves Anyone could have told you this was going to happen..its SA, very predictable!

These people must be arrested! SAPoliceService must do something!

It will get worse

They are targeting undocumented liquor stores

They should just open so we can stop havoc

Soldiers must be everywhere. This is the time

Here in Soshanguve they've started burning schools and that's insane.

People are in need of alcohol so they will do anything to get it. The government should reconsider closing liquor stores through out the lockdown. My opinion though

Who could have seen that coming?

There'll soon be a spike in drug abuse...

The people to be blamed for this is SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE SERVICE and SOUTH AFRICAN DEFENSE FORCE lockdown means the police should be patrolling early in the morning and late at night

Wats stopping them from dealing with drug dealers Abasyeke sphuze somile amanzi awasizi kokqala ngsane hangover ya lastmonth

It's what happens when you push alcohol and cigarettes sales underground.

It's not criminals.....it's PEOPLE....normal PEOPLE!!!!

It's not criminals it's thirst

Barbaric!!!!!!!!

If you know you know

More and more stores will be looted before lockdown ends. Easy targets. Especially if the money runs out and no pay coming and even less so assistance from government

Simple drop celes stupid rules prohibition has never had a good outcome

Exposing exactly what rules their heads, hearts, thoughts and motivation. Life in a bottle.

Bheki Cele must now focus on drugs... No one is gonna brake in a drug den

'aretse'

Sonyiwe....

With Cigarette and Alcohol closed or banned, it gonna be a shity lockdown. I feel sorry for addicts.

Let's have heavy security thr we will need our staff after lockdown

It was only a matter of time. We want those liquor shops open even if its a few hours a day.

Ya neh.

Obvious sinxaniwe booo
