Takealot alcohol sales takedown drags on

[Jan]

Takealot's dry January

South Africa's biggest e-commerce retailer, Takealot, has not sold alcohol in nearly a month.

The online store's liquor catalogue was inexplicably pulled sometime around 21 December 2023.

Ag dude, it's a tongue in cheek comment that does not need a citation for evidence....

That would suggest the retailer only has a licence to sell liquor in the Western Cape.

That is OK we don't mind this

They should just update the website to state they only deliver in Western Cape. Then go get licences for the other provinces. As they should have done a long time ago. It is not like they would not have known that their licence is only valid in 1 province.

I guess it was a very safe festive season. Oh wait...
