All ANC voters to go on their knees and thank NDZ and the ANC who backed her. Also all non-smokers who were happy about the ban. They are the cause of this. For those losing their jobs... too bad so sad. Welcome to the ranks of the unemployed and hungry. Good luck finding a job.

Doekie didn't ban cigs to save lives, she banned cigs to prop up her illegal cigarette business she made millions from.

That is one avenue of the pandemic i will concede i got wrong, it was the dumbest decision made by a government ever lol. It seemed initially to be health related but it became clear the only scientific data was the amount of R200 notes she could fit in her bra.

Read the article.

“BAT South Africa’s cigarette volume loss is almost entirely as a result of the continued impact of the growth in illicit cigarette trade in South Africa, and the unconstitutional ban on cigarette sales implemented during the national Covid-19 lockdown in 2020,” it said.

“The 2020 tobacco sales ban resulted in an explosion of growth for the illicit market. This has continued even after the ban on tobacco sales was lifted.”

Also, this suits the ANC 100%. I think they can't wait for companies like BAT to collapse. Then the whole country can buy cheap illegally imported cigarettes from their suppliers. So, ANC voters unfortunately needs to take one for the team.

And each and every ANC voter knows and understand this. This is why they are happy to live in poverty while their masters are stinking rich. The masters did not fight to become poor. They know about taking one for the team.

And still today you can go into any cafee/Spaza and get illegal cigs

Trying to think of a single positive thing that the ANC has done for me

However, they are more than happy to steal my money every month.

Hold up... was granny NDZ suspected of running an illegal cigarette ring? Her political career is said to have come crashing down.
