Mbalula: Banning alcohol advertising, stricter drinking laws the solution?
JOHANNESBURG - Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula said while he was aware of the financial implications of banning alcohol advertising, something had to be done.
Mbalula said when he was the minister of sport, he vehemently argued against banning of alcohol advertising. He said the behavioural patterns of South Africans since the sale of alcohol was permitted proved that restrictions on advertising were necessary.He said the restrictions around the consumption and sale of alcohol must go beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
