This is one of the submissions made by Cogta minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma in response to an application by the Southern African Agri Initiative against the ban on the sale of wine.
In her answering affidavit filed on August 7, Dlamini-Zuma said Saai's case was premised on a fundamental error of evidence and reasoning — that wine is different to other types of alcohol in that its drinkers do not become intoxicated that the drinking of wine does not result in alcohol-related trauma.
“It is not. The approach ... is to balance the government's constitutional obligations to protect life, the heath and wellbeing, and access to health care for the benefit of all South Africans, whilst at the same time allowing economic activity to proceed as best as possible,” she said.
