We repeat our support for the #LockdownSA ban on alcohol sales. It's clearly proven that alcohol abuse is a leading cause of criminal activities, accidents, injuries, abuse and deaths. You just have to look at the huge drop in such cases in the last 2 weeks for confirmation.https://twitter.com/Newzroom405/status/1249250421912338432 …

We welcome todays announcement. The only alcohol that is allowed to be transported is that used for #Covid19inSA hand sanitisers and related purposes. This reinforces the #LockdownSA ban on alcohol sales. Good job @PresidencyZA and @GDCoGTA Minister Dlamini-Zuma, and thank you.https://twitter.com/IOL/status/1250759953352179716 …

Retailers in the liquor industry and tavern owners have been dealt yet another a blow as the government emphasised that the ban on the transportation of alcohol during the duration of the lockdown remains until April 30. #day21oflockdown https://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/alcohol-traders-delivered-blow-as-government-reinforces-booze-travel-ban-46775449?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social …

We have broadly supported the government's #LockdownSA measures to limit the spread of #Covid_19SA. We appreciate that this step has had a devastating impact on businesses and household incomes, as well as on the economy as the whole. - Steve Swart .MP https://bit.ly/2z7WYoK

Thus, incremental lifting of lockdown provisions is crucial while not sacrificing public health interests. If not done, the country may find its economy permanently damaged, with knock-on effects on unemployment and poverty. - Steve Swart .MP https://bit.ly/2z7WYoK

We urge Govt to consider opening the manufacturing & construction industries & other sectors with a low risk of infection, keeping stringent health cond. Highly automated factories, incl the automotive industry, should be allowed to reopen without delay. https://bit.ly/2z7WYoK

In our view, it is critical to allow as many economic activities to take place as possible, while ensuring that measures are in place to mitigate the health risks associated with these activities. https://bit.ly/2z7WYoK

  Lastly, such a fiscal relief package should temporarily increase the child-support and old-age pensions, to assist the most vulnerable in society. https://bit.ly/2z7WYoK #ACDPCovid19ReliefFund #Covid_19SA #LockdownSAExtended
