The DA's Makashule Gana says the ban on the sale of alcohol should not be lifted until the government is certain that hospitals can cope with the Covid-19 peak
Speaking on the cigarette ban, Ntuli said she has not seen any scientific studies that link smoking to Covid-19 infections.
“She might have access to better scientists than me but from what I've seen, it seems to be a futile ban.” “If the president is saying that alcohol predominantly causes issues at night, allow restaurants to at least serve it during the day so that they can make some of their money with people going for lunches ... it is killing the business and the industry.”
