Alcohol Traders Welcome New Regulations :: Mmegi Online

The Botswana Alcohol Industry Association (BAIA) is satisfied with the new alcohol trade regulations that amongst others allow alcohol to be sold on a take-away basis, four days of the week beginning June 3, 2020.

All eyes, including of parched drinkers, were on BTV, Sunday afternoon, 4pm precisely, when Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, Peggy Serame addressed the nation on the new regulations. The only downside of Serame’s announcement, however, was when she said that alcohol would not be sold on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays.

“On Wednesday to Friday alcohol outlets will trade from 10am to 6pm while on Saturday the outlets will be open from 10am to 4pm. All alcohol is sold on take-away basis except for restaurant sit-ins,” she announced. While she encouraged home delivery of alcohol where applicable, Serame said online sales would fall under the stipulated trading hours.
