Ban on alcohol and cigarettes in South Africa

[friedpiggy]

If the BATSA case results in a judgement that is "with immediate effect" then the wine guys have won.

An immediate effect judgement against the state would result in the state appealing or objecting because they need time to issue the relevant regulations. The wine guys could then argue that the ban on alcohol was done with immediate effect and the fact that the state is demanding time to sort out the regulations, combined with the fact that the alcohol ban regs came out a few hours after ramalamadingdongs announcement, means that the state had drafted the alcohol ban regs in bad faith in an attempt to cause permanent harm to the alcohol industry.

It already has backfired. You can clearly see by the judges responses they already decided Tabaco will stay banned.

Yip, I can't understand after the last case why we are seeing the same failed strategy again.

If it is legal for the communist committee to ban icecream and crocs they can do it, even if it is stupid.

They should be going after the constitutional legality of the disaster management act not just how stupid it is that their specific product was banned.

Well im very disappointed in BATSA.
I emailed them yesterday and they have not responded.

Here is the email.


Can you please arrange for a truck to drive by ******** ave, and accidentally drop a carton of Stuyvesant please. I am not buying and you are not selling.

There might be a random guy throwing people with rolls of money. I think he is clinically insane. Not sure why he would be throwing people with money.

Alternatively, can I make a donation to your organization for youth development?
And you give me a carton? Giving it away is not illegal. Selling is.

Let me know
My number is

That must be a sarcastic reply...

What should become clear is that the minister of tobacco's son deals in illicit cigarettes.
Very clear to me where the ban comes from.

Not her son she only has daughter's.

Finally managed to get a source for some craft brew until my home brewing catches up, nice for a long weekend
I wonder if the government is turning a blind eye to this kind of thing because middle-class peeps trading in wine and craft beer generally don't get drunk and moer each other....

At least I don't like in JBH with the metro police willing to pounce for a few beers in the back of a car..

Interesting article @ nature.com re Covid-19 and smoking. Data collected from medical research all over the world.

One of the conclusions: "There is uncertainty about the associations of smoking with COVID-19 outcomes. Recorded smoking prevalence among people with COVID-19 was generally lower than national prevalence. Current smokers were at reduced risk of infection. Former smokers were at increased risk of hospitalisation, disease severity and mortality, while data for current smokers favoured no important associations but were inconclusive."

If this is true then NDZ is actively and knowingly endangering the lives of all smokers.
