Masisi Drops More Hints On Alcohol :: Mmegi Online

The document on new proposed liquor trading hours, which circulated widely on social media had tongues wagging, and created a lot of interest, especially from beer guzzlers, but the bubble quickly fizzled out after the document was termed 'fake'.

While the origins of the document, labelled ‘Annexure 1: Proposed Liquor Trading Hours’ is unknown, when addressing Batswana living in the Kingdom of eSwatini, President Mokgweetsi Masisi, hinted that his government was planning to review liquor trading hours.

The President who touched on a variety of issues during his address, told the gathering that his government was going to review a number of processes, one of which will be alcohol trading hours. Echoing the message he gave the Kgotla meeting in Rakops last week, President Masisi assured the Batswana in eSwatini that his administration was going to consult relevant stakeholders and Batswana at large to map the way forward on alcohol related issues, including excessive alcohol abuse, as well as liquor trading hours. “We will consult the nation to come up with suggestions on what should be done, to ensure that those who drink alcohol do so responsibly,” Masisi said.
