Eager South Africans
customers at the Ferndale liquor city observed social distancing as they
waited in a queue to get into the store.
Each customer is sanitised and given a peg before being
allowed into the shop. A customer who did not want to be named said he was
relieved liquor stores were open.
"I'm obviously happy because I can't link alcohol with
the virus. I understand why the government did not allow tarvens to operate
because people would chill there."
At Beyers Naude Liqour City, booze was flying off the
shelves in liquor stores. In a queue where social distancing was hardly
observed, anxious shoppers waited their turn to get in. The man who asked not
to be named said he was planning to stock up for the entire month.
“I’m just here for the wine. This has affected my entire
life. I work so quarantine was not that bad for me. It’s more of an
inconvenience than a bad thing.
“I’ve ran out of alcohol since lockdown started, I just had
to deal with it. I’m here early because I know it will be crazy during the
day.” he said. Sowetan
