On Sunday, President Cyril Ramaphosa reiterated that the consumption of food and alcohol in restaurants, bars, shebeens and taverns remained prohibited.
“I commend the government for acknowledging we are the largest employers, but we are talking about over 80 000 people of which 80% are currently unemployed. It’s time the government has a frank conversation with us and we have a consultation.” Owner of JARRYDS Eatery in Sea Point Jarryd Segal said his establishment has been forced to serve delivery coffees only.
Owner of Craft Burgers Russell Shapiro, who closed his shop a week before the lockdown started because of staff travelling in taxis, said he has been waiting for relief.
