Lucky Ntimane, Liquor Trader Training Coordinator, said: “As liquor traders we have noted with disappointment the lack of compliance with control measures by some who have behaved in a way that is not appropriate for patriotic South Africans. . They have not heard a call from the president to behave in a way that helps the country fight the second wave of the pandemic.

“We continue to ask our liquor merchants and the general public to observe Covid-19 regulations regarding the use of face masks at all times, to disinfect and wash our hands regularly, and to observe social distancing.”

“We understand the situation the country is in and we are aware that the president and his government have difficult decisions to make in the coming days and, as citizens of the country, we will support government initiatives to address Covid-19,” he read the declaration.

“However, we believe that any decision affecting our industry should be discussed with us beforehand and our input should be considered before communicating any decision to the general public.”
