Our only hope now against Zuma 2.0 is the virus itself. If indeed the Covid does what it says on the tin, it's just a matter of time...

Seems that the markets became organised very quickly, using modern technology:

Covid-19: Big profits for the cigarette 'black market' in KZN

The ban on cigarette and alcohol sales during the lockdown has created an underground market of rampant deals all over Pietermaritzburg.

Those supporting it are normally law-abiding citizens and many professional people. A Weekend Witness investigation, conducted this week, revealed a “dial-a-fix” network on social media with door-to-door cigarette and alcohol deliveries.

Exactly what happened in the 1920s in the US, it's the reason the mob became as powerful as they did.

Same crap here in Durban, while R60 per a pack is kak expensive, its worth it given that we are living in a global pandemic. Actually think about that, the world could start burning but, you can't light up and enjoy a smoke.

 

[friedpiggy]

Where the heck are you getting for R60? Bought some Marlboro yesterday at R120 a pack

ATM R35 a pack...when their stocks get low it goes up too much. Than its time to change to another readily available brand again. Rinse and repeat lol.

Smoke and mirrors: 4 minutes – that's how long it took to find banned cigarettes during lockdown

Four minutes and 28 seconds. That is how long it took a News24 reporter to find cigarettes – meant to be banned under Level 4 lockdown regulations – which were available for purchase at one of many places in South Africa.

Replace his head with a certain fedora wearing twat and raise the right hand a little higher, and that picture would nail it.

Just as easy to find booze. There's even price lists doing the rounds.

Carnilinx - owned by controversial businessman Adriano Mazzotti - owns unconventional brands such as Shasha and Derby.

The company replied too that it was under strict lockdown.

On the availability of its brands, the company said: "Carnilinx may have stock by distributors and retailers who may choose to break the law and sell or distribute cigarettes. It is not our business to police what they do with products that was sold and delivered to them before the lockdown."

But the company warned: "Our biggest concern in relation to this is counterfeits produced in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Lesotho that are coming into South Africa through the corrupt and porous borders. We have given information to the authorities but they have failed to act."

Lol, really

The criminals complaining to government about the competing criminals.

At the end of the day, this useless ANC has effed it up for everyone. Turned honest citizens into law breakers etc etc etc. ANC is not competent to rule over a chicken coop. Never mind a whole country.

The ANC needs to be booted out before they inflect even more damage to South Africa.
