“Our cigarettes will be sold out by 9am,” says store manager
“I’m a happy man,” says Johannnesburg's Charles Keylock, who bought nine boxes of his favourite brand - Camel Black.“At the rate that we are currently going, our cigarette stock won’t last us till 9am,” a manager at a Spar in Honeydew said on Tuesday morning, the first day of the resumption of cigarettes sales on day 144 of the Covid-19 lockdown.
He said the store didn’t have time to fully stock up on cigarettes, now and when the initial ban was implemented five months ago. This is due to the limited notice given to suppliers to deliver stock, following the adjusted regulations allowing the sale of legal tobacco products. Keylock said during lockdown he smoked Sharp and paid R70 per box and still had to pay extra for someone to fetch the cigarettes for him [a delivery charge].
