Send me a PM, will show you how to screenshot on your phone.

May I explain it like this? Would not want to waste your time on PMs, also for the sake of transparency ...

/Hope somebody somewhere does not take offense to that clip ... living in troubled times and all that.

Inside the alcohol talks: We'll help healthcare system if you lift ban, industry bargains

The alcohol industry and business representatives met with Health Minister Zweli Mkhize on Wednesday, as government prepares to lift the alcohol ban.
Business Unity SA CEO Cas Coovadia said the industry explained to Mkhize in the meeting that they were willing to assist government in dealing with the burden on the public healthcare system.

A contact tells me Consol Glass has been told to turn on their furnaces back on...

I remember reading a myBB article that said they can't turn those furnaces of in the first place, as to do so would require them to be rebuilt. I think you need better contacts.

You never answered the question

Didn't have to sell my house but I am taking a chance drinking with one kidney.

Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma defends alcohol ban

Pretoria - The government is not buckling under the pressure to lift the temporary ban on the sale of alcohol and is adamant it is one of a number of crucial measures taken to slow or reduce the rate of Covid-19 infections.

Minister of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma said in an affidavit filed with the North Gauteng High Court the temporary ban would be regularly re-evaluated.

“(The) government also aims to limit hardships facing the economy and individual livelihoods during this period. There is no desire on the part of (the) government to leave this prohibition in place for longer than necessary,” the minister said.

She filed an opposing affidavit following an urgent application by several wine farmers, the Southern Africa Agri Initiative (Saai), and others.

She's not going down without a fight.

Dlamini Zuma said it was based on science - an avenue which the courts should best leave to scientists

We all know its only scientific if it aligns with your own believes.... even if it means you have to bend the truth.

Chances are any shop you go to today will already have regular cigarette brands in stock.

She's not the ****ing health minister. The woman is pushing agenda she failed to accomplish during her tenure as health minister. The final say on the effect of alcohol/tobacco needs to come from Mkhize, hopefully with input from the MAC. In fact, the economic cluster ministers also have a bigger say than NDZ. Her job is to make regulations that the other ministers tell her are needed to control the pandemic. Talk about overreach.

I would have thought that implying Politicians can understand science but it is to complex for Judges is not a good way to win the courts favour.

Get this to her: If the ban is not lifted the white people will make lightning rain over Soweto while the sun is shining.
