With your severe and total ban on
e-liquid, cigarettes and alcohol right now...how are you folks making out?
Did you have any idea it would be this severe? Did you have any warning? Really feel bad for you folks down there, and wish there were something we could do. How long is this to last, any idea?
I have removed my replies. I didn't come to argue so I hope my new replies will attract positive feedback and not debates or arguments.
While people might think. Economic structures are the same all over, the fact remains it's not. Our structure is split and I think in more than two.
There have been looting of bottle stores.
Fake and cigarettes and even illegal cigarette sales happening.
And our ministers says the Ban is and was a success.
Not true. There were studies held by University staff which proved otherwise.
Plus we get to see people doing their thing.
Alcohol sales I'm not sure. A lot more people can survive not drinking here and a lot of them have been brewing their own beverages.
People are addicted and there's no sugar coating it and this makes it hard for many folk out here.people have reverted to smoking tea.
A pack would normally cost R35 (average)
That same pack would now in lockdown cost R250 and people are buying it.
Lucky for me that boat sailed,but family members are having trouble.
I didn't work during lockdown so didn't have any income at all.
And it's getting tougher ,but it's fine. I have God in my life that eases the pain.
So there's good and bad during the lockdown for us and I'm just happy to be alive and well and that my family is still healthy and safe.
