This article is the first time I take any indication that the ban on cigarettes might soon lift seriously.
Let the crossing of fingers commence.
I know I'll be dancing! (Yeah!)

SA needs ’a few more days’ before deciding on lockdown level 2, says ministerial advisor Prof Salim Abdool Karim
Durban – The chairperson of the ministerial advisory committee on Covid-19, Professor Salim S Abdool Karim, says the country needs a few more days before it can decide whether it should ease the lockdown.​
Karim told Independent Media on Wednesday that the latest trends in Covid-19 infections and admission to hospitals were promising, hence the calls to ease the lockdown regulations.​
His comment came as the forum for the country’s director-generals (DGs) has reportedly recommended to the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC) that it must open up most economic sectors and move the country to level 2.​
The country is currently on level 3.​
Giving a scientific background on the country’s efforts to contain the spread of the virus from March this year up to August, Karim said there were a few cases in the early days of the lockdown but the cases surged in June.​
He said that was because the South African government acted early and placed the country under lockdown. In other case studies, Karim said, most countries had their surges a month after lockdowns were implemented. This was because most countries acted very late to impose restrictions.​

After reading that I'm not sure if I want to start brewing my next 5l batch of crApple Cyder™ or not.

For anyone who wants to see the non relation of alcohol sales and mortality.

"Few more days" meaning we will sit on it while we eat our cake.

Lets not forget when Ramaphosa said cigarette ban will be lifted and then not even 24hrs later Queen Kopdoek said haaibo and it remained banned.

If the news article stated that Queen Kopdoek is considering to lift the bans it would be more credible at this point.

Rule 34 of the internet hopes that you are wrong.
I'm not so sure, Internet pornography actually generates incomes for people. This one just takes, eats and generates large amounts of flatulence. She should be reported to the UN Convention for Climate Change for excessive methane production. I am surprised that they haven't charged SA green credits for her existence.
