Cape Town - Alcohol buyers from taverns, restaurants and bottle stores across Cape Town’s southern suburbs yesterday braved the hot sun to queue outside wholesale liquor stores to refill their stocks after the president’s Monday night announcement lifting the alcohol ban.
The president said that trading in alcohol could resume under certain restrictions, such as the sale of alcohol for off-site consumption only being permitted from Monday to Thursday, between 10am and 6pm.
Candice Brooks and Chantal Panti were among the buyers at Wynberg’s Ultra Liquor and had driven 30km from Ocean View to Wynberg to fetch stock for their bottle store.
