South Africans have done it again, now selling beer in cooking oil bottles. This because of the 21 days lockdown imposed on South Africa. Citizens have to bear 21 days without liquor and cigarettes. Thus far a couple of liquor stores and taverns have been broken into – there have been several videos making rounds on social media.
No liquor sales – at all, including from grocery stores according to the lockdown regulations. South Africans are only permitted to buy basic goods.
A number of arrests have been made for contravening the lockdown regulations. On Saturday, the whole wedding party was arrested in KZN. And thus far over a thousand people have been arrested.
The cooking oil bottled beer was confiscated by the police and have more beers have been confiscated all around the country.
Day 14 of the lockdown and people are in a desperate search for alcohol. Some liquor stores have been selling in closed doors at inflated prices.
