SAAPA also wrote to BP and questioned them on whether it was socially responsible to sell alcohol at petrol stations. However, BP had not responded.
Parry said increasing outlets would make the availability and accessibility of alcohol easy. He said the country dealt with a considerable amount of alcohol-related trauma. South Africans Against Drink Driving founder and director Caro Smit said Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Madagascar, Congo, Comoros and Seychelles in the Southern African Development Community, did not allow alcohol to be sold in petrol stations.
