Dear Mr Bagraim
I'm extremely disturbed that the ban of sales of Alcohol and Tobacco Products in South Africa seems to be the focus of the NCCC rather than the Covod-19 pandemic. From where I'm sitting Minister Dlamini-Zuma is throughly enjoying herself using her position in the NCCC as her personal platform to be vindictive, show her "power "and for personal gain, this is not how a democracy works. The ban is having devastating consequences on the mental health of millions of South Africans, not only are we having to contend with the loss of income and uncertainty of our future but we are also having to deal with severe withdrawal from either alchohol, tobacco or both. Law abiding, tax paying citizens have turned in crazy people searching for over priced low quality black market products, spending ridiculous amounts of money. How has one person been allowed to get into a position of "dictator"?
