SAB may be forced to destroy 400 million bottles of beer.
https://www.businessinsider.co.za/sab-says-beer-may-be-destroyed-2020-5

''If SAB has to destroy the 132 million litres of beer, the company would be forced to operate at about 50% capacity for four months. No bottling or distribution could take place, given that the beer is discarded. “This would mean the loss of about 2,000 jobs – half of SAB’s frontline workforce.”

It would also mean an immediate loss to the government in excise tax of around R500 million.

Alcohol the drinkable disinfectant (where's Trump for this suggestion) and the most purchased product in the world is said to be a playstation.
 
Heard a voicenote on friends phone - a woman got busted with a sealed carton of ciggies and were bundled into a van and carted off . Not sure where .
 
Hope it's still there later. It loads 90% and stays at 90%
Strange , big pharma supplying their own theories and steamroll any1 that speaks out , covid around long time , they ''fiddled ' with it and now big crap . Corruption all over , numbers fake. Pulled meds that could work . We making ourselves sick with masks and isolation.

So she basically say the whole word is in collusion with the US? She talks about medicine that can make autism kids speak that you cant get, so nowhere else in the world you also cant get it? America is the Alpha and Omega? Only they have scientists, pharma laboratories? Or the whole world is colluding with them to BS the Public?
Dik vir n daler?

Look I know I've grown a bit of a beard during lockdown.
But I'm not that werewolfy just yet.
Y'all safe for now. If you hear howling it wasn't me, I haven't even opened the tequila yet

CLOSED DUE TO VIRUS
Checkers Kenilworth
Kenilworth Centre (the entire shopping complex)
Checkers Constantia
Shoprite Woodstock

Our Spar now does temperature checks of shoppers (as well as staff) before they enter the store. I suppose that's a good thing as it just might find someone with a high temp, but it doesn't help much for those who might not have symptoms, does it?

MY BROADBAND:
South Africans can expect to be hit hard by load-shedding before the end of June 2020, according to energy expert Ted Blom.

Blom told MyBroadband that as demand increases due to heavy industry, such as mining and smelting coming back online, Eskom could face problems from as soon as next week.

By the end of June, increased demand due to the winter season paired with a lack of new maintenance and problems associated with reactivating disabled power units will result in heavy load-shedding, Blom said.

“The moment that the full demand comes onto the system, you will see fireworks second to none,” Blom said. “I’m expecting transformers to blow up and boilers to malfunction.”

“I would not be surprised if we see the worst load-shedding we have ever seen by the end of June.”

This is very sad indeed
Thanks for pointing this out @ARYANTO

Lockdowns, virus ramping up, economy in ICU.... and no power...
That is a wicked combination
 
SAD e-MAIL THIS MORNING...

Dear Customer

BLCK has always been about going the extra mile for our clients and as much as we would love to supply level 4 essentials items, unfortunately we cannot continue doing so as we have been inundated with requests to supply non-essential items and this is not what our brand is about.

We know this is a tough time for our clients & vendors but we have had to make this difficult decision in order to sustain our long term goal.

We will not be taking any more orders at this time

Our payment options have been deactivated until further notice

All existing orders for essential items will be shipped out

Orders containing non-essential items will be shipped once the tobacco ban has been lifted as mentioned in our previous mailer

Please expect delays as courier services are working with minimal staff

We do apologize for this inconvenience and we cannot wait to start trading again with our full range of products.

Our online support team will be available to help with track and trace as well as any other queries you may have.
