Brewers hope for the best in alcohol levy

The levy is meant to control excessive alcohol consumption and was supposed to take effect mid this month but was postponed after Sechaba Breweries and stakeholders, with the help of BOCCIM, pleaded with government. Sechaba owns Botswana Breweries and Kgalagadi Breweries. 

Opponents of the levy told government that they needed more time to consult and come up with alternatives to address the problems associated with excessive alcohol consumption.
