Former magistrate Deon Pool says it's unlikely SAB will overturn government's alcohol ban during the current Covid-19 spike.
The past 24 hour period confirms another 21,832 Cvid-19 infections in South Africa and 844 more deaths. The recent second alcohol ban was implemented to help mitigate the spread of the virus through large alcohol-fuelled superspreader events, as well as to free the country's hospitals to better cope with Cocie-19 patients.
But the country's largest producer of beer is preparing to take government to court over this latest alcohol ban.
