The group said that should establishments have their alcohol licence revoked for any lawful reason, including the contravention of any Covid-19 regulations, SAB would not be legally allowed to sell alcohol to them.
SAB said the government had opened up the economy and lifted the alcohol ban under very strict conditions that will need to be adhered to in order to safeguard against Covid-19 risks.
"For many of our value chain partners who are struggling to get back on their feet, another ban or increased regulations could mean an end of their business and jeopardise the livelihoods of their employees,” said Zoleka Lisa, vice-president of corporate affairs at SAB. “At SAB we maintain that we want every experience with our beers to be a positive one, and this means taking a firm stance against harmful or irresponsible drinking,” said Lisa.
“We are still very much in the midst of a health pandemic and we all need to not drink and drive in order to preserve all the livelihoods supported by the alcohol industry.
