Cape Town – Slammed by the DA, among others, for the ’’ridiculous regulation’’ banning of the transportation of alcohol, Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma has done an about-turn.
"Over the weekend, the police will be doing roadblocks and stuff. (People) are not allowed to be carrying alcohol and stuff from one place to the other," she had said earlier on Thursday morning.
However, on Thursday afternoon, Dlamini Zuma's spokesperson, Mlungisi Mtshali, told Talk Radio 702 that people will be allowed to transport their own alcohol. South Africans have only until midnight, though, before the ban on the off-site consumption of alcohol kicks in for the Easter weekend.
