Mbalula said he was left bewildered when people were interviewed outside liquor stores and they admitted to buying alcohol illegally for as much as R700. “People want to smoke, drunkards want to get drunk. We open up for drunkards and they abuse it. They go to Tops with a brass band. I've never seen people clap for alcohol. We are a sick nation,” said Mbalula.
