Are you tired of the South African Booze bans?
Yes, you are, and you are also tired of all the turmoil and incompetence.
Chin chin to new memories with a drink and a few photos.
This week I focus on drinks photography.
The alcohol ban lifted, and life can continue as normal. Sort off. There is still a weekend restriction in place. I don’t need a drink, but if I feel like a beer or some wine, it is good to know I can buy a bottle.
All blame is on the alcohol industry in South Africa.
Yes, South Africa has a drinking problem, but the government avoids many other issues. If there are too many road accidents, do you ban cars? No, you don’t.
What about buying limits or ID checks? There are many innovative ways to approach the countries drinking habits. But, it will take work and money to implement. We are a country with brilliant ideas and software to create solutions if the right people have the budgets to deliver.
One year later, South Africa struggles to vaccinate the countries people.
There is a shortage of vaccines. If the proper measures are in place, the vaccine rollout is the solution to the Covid lockdowns and alcohol bans.
Because of the corruption culture, funds disappear, and the infrastructure collapses. But it is easy to blame alcohol, the sin product. The current restrictions point to the incompetence and failure to govern properly.
