The SAB is calling for reasonable trading hours, as a precaution against people gathering in mass to purchase supplies.
Cape Town - The South African Breweries on Sunday appealed to government to consider allowing for sufficient alcohol sales channels, as well as reasonable trading hours, as a precaution against people gathering in mass to purchase supplies.
“We want to be part of the solution, and regard the proposals put forward by the business and the industry as having taken serious consideration to resuscitating our economy as well as ensuring that our customers and retailers remain safe,” SAB corporate affairs vice president Zoleka Lisa said in the statement.
“We want to appeal to government that as they deliberate on the trade of regulated alcohol, they consider allowing for sufficient sales channels, reasonable trading hours, and number of days,” she said.
