SouthAfricaLockDown: No alcohol sales during 21-day lockdown, says Bheki Cele
Johannesburg - The sale of alcohol during the 21-day lockdown is strictly prohibited, according to the newly-amended State of Disaster regulations.
Police Minister Bheki Cele said the previous regulations confined the sale of alcohol at bars, nightclubs, restaurants, liquor stores and taverns to between 9am and 6pm during weekdays and Saturdays, and to 9am and 1pm on Sundays, but under the lockdown, there would be no sale of alcohol allowed. “Last weekend with the previous Covid-19 Disaster Management Regulations, we were inundated with requests for clarity and a lot of other questions around the selling and consumption of liquor.
