A Johannesburg man spent more than R20,000 on his favourite whisky and rum on the first day of the resumption of alcohol sales.
Gordon Human and three friends pooled their resources to buy more than R20,000 worth of alcohol at the Strubens Valley Makro liquor store on Tuesday.
“I feel great today now that the ban has been lifted,” Gordan Human told TimesLIVE at Makro in Strubens Valley on a cloudy Tuesday morning.Gordon Human filled his trolley with favourite brands on Tuesday morning.Human and three friends each contributed more than R6,000 to buy the alcohol. Their plan is to not come up short if the ban on sales is reinstated again. He said they had done the same thing when sales were reopened before.
Alcohol sales were banned at the start of lockdown in March, then resumed, only to be banned again in July, to the dismay of shoppers and suppliers. “We buy stock together and then we share the bottles equally. We have always done it like this, so when the second peak in Covid-19 infections comes around we have stock.”
