Citizen reporter The beer industry, along with the broader alcohol sector, made a number of proposals to NatJoints, including allowing all licensed establishments to be able to sell alcohol for off-site consumption under adjusted alert level 4, says Basa.

To be able to ask – and answer – such a racially charged question, without offence, reflects the degree of understanding reached between these two parties.

Johannesburg - The fight to keep close to one million of SAâs school labour workforce away from the classroom continues today and teacher unions are taking their gloves off.
Teacher unions have accused the Department of Basic Education (DBE) of blatantly flouting a World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendation that in order for schools to reopen, a country must have observed a 14-day consecutive decline in Covid-19 infections.
Teacher unions, Sadtu and Naptosa say this is not the case in SA and they will continue to oppose the decision by the DBE for School Management Teams (SMTs) to return to schools on January 25. The WHO on its website stresses it merely provides âguidelinesâ and itâs up to individual countries to conduct their own assessments and implement strategies which pave the way for the reopening of schools.
