At one corner cafe near Cape Town central police station the presence of a police van standing in the street outside did not deter cigarettes from being sold, though under the counter. She was responding to a North Gauteng High Court challenge brought by the Fair Trade Independent Tobacco Association , a tobacco lobby, which argued that the cigarette ban was irrational.
A pack of"Chinese cigarettes" sold at R160 in convenience stores across Cape Town in contravention of the lockdown ban.Law enforcement sources said the cigarettes were thought to have come into SA from Lesotho, but no further information could be found on the cigarette brand in SA. Cigarettes with identical packaging are sold on online Chinese cigarette markets as the Guiyan Kuayue brand.
He said that SA would crack the whip on the industry and was committed to enact “strict tobacco control laws”.
