Lockdown blues spawn illegal shebeens

Ramotswa Police Station commander, superintendent Keoagile Tau told MmegiOnline that the ban of alcohol has resulted in a majority of people in his policing area resorting to home brews to get around the prohibition and beat the blues. 

Tau disclosed to be battling with a mushroom of shebeens in his policing area, especially in Ramotswa, Taung and Mogobane villages where some residents have been selling home brewed beer. He stated that they discovered the shebeens when investigating what was behind people's movement during the lockdown despite the regulations in place.
