@ it’s unfortunate that you feel that way cause now kids are singing Bo “Biring marung” which means it’s too late for the next generation of leaders 💔South Africa’s future depends on this discussion
There used to be no liquor store open on Sundays, these days even on Sunday it is business as usual. We need to pray for our nation. "Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child and your princes feast in the morning! Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of the nobles, and your princes feast at the proper time- for strength and not for drunkenness!" Ecclesiastes 10:16-17
We are also the top in the world of unemployment. The ANC government, policy , keep the people uneducated, poor, and dependent on welfare. So crime, murder and rape is high, corruption at highest level, from top. 12:04 Observed, in squat camps, free supply of liquor, and meat. Vote ANC, viva ANC.
High levels of poverty in South Africa, exacerbated by deliberate government policies that sustain inequality, directly correlate with the country’s high alcohol consumption rates. As poverty limits access to economic opportunities and social mobility, alcohol often becomes an accessible escape for those grappling with social and economic hardships. Government taxation policies on alcohol, while marketed as revenue-generating, inadvertently reinforce capitalist interests by profiting from excessive consumption, particularly among the impoverished. This cycle creates a dual burden: impoverished communities face deteriorating health and social conditions, while the government and private industries benefit financially from the sustained demand for alcohol.
I've seen people buying alcohol and getting drunk and then the following day they're standing in the queue for free food. Who do you want to blame for that ? If you can't take responsibility for yourself you'll never get anywhere in life.
It's in South African Black culture that is the gateway to alcohol abuse. Traditional beer drinking results in the youth being introduced to these drugs, and then social and economic circumstances make it an escape mechanism. So it's culture and economic circumstances combined that is causing these alcohol problems in the country. This creates more car accidents and deaths, and more domestic abuse for spouses and children. It's very sad, and will continue for the next few decades until the African culture and education change.
Also why dont you fkn retract the dagga legalisation. Mofos are getting stoned left right and center, losing their minds, supporting drug merchants/organised crime, plummeting the lower class into further damnation.
Alcohol drinking - high GBV - high Unemployment - high Inequality - high Criminal activities - high Unsafe country - high WHERE ARE WE GOING AS A COUNTRY?
Government wants it that way, if it were for them we would be ranked number one. Drinkink in public is not crime anymore, alcohol is easily accessible even to the under age.
Alcohol consumption is been very concerning for a long time now.I think people are using alcohol as a form of "therapy" because as citizens we are going through a lot, I mean very painful situations that we often find ourselves in. I hope one day we can find better ways to deal with our issues.
@@paultappan9055 Apartheid was and still is an act of pure satanism, please just don't try to exonerate yourselves. This is what irritates me with white people, you think the ANC uselessness is some how exonerating you.
If you think, curbing sales to midnight will impact positively, you are dillutional. Where there's a will there's a way. If the bar is closed, I will go to amatjotjombeni and the money will not be taxed and the so called criminals will make the money.
Heavy Drinking will always be associated with poverty, In RSA even if u do not live below the poverty line, many of your relatives or dependents are. . .That's true for the majority of RSA, so wouldn't there be an alcohol problem? And under age drinking exacerbates the problem. . .
It's is very difficult to understand majority of people that claim grants,waste money on alcohol, smoking and drugs, and also use "my children are hungry" to exploit others to fund their habits. S.A.citizens love to blame and excuses for their own habits.
I argue that the 30% stat is a misrepresentation of the facts. More people in South Africa drink ankohol. No reason, South Africans just love beer, wine and spirits...and promiscuity. The fact that they base it on some township statistic is just angering. South Africans of all color are affected by angkhohol. To have a conversation about violence resulting from excessive angkhohol as a result of tavern going is just bias. where are the stats in the Indian and European communities?
Do you know that only liquor store's,funeral houses and loan places are making money nowadays. People are drinking because what else can they do or buy without money. No jobs and high prices are the problem ( ANC).
A lot has made us victims of alcohol, especially the black society,urban and rural.we even drink in funerals,we throw parties for our babies,a 1 year old todler,ee invite adults,booze all over the place.at times we dnt mind to make loans just to celebrate nonsense.
finally, south Africa is starting to rank higher in SOMETHING.........Our learners are ranked stone last in education, i wonder if there could be the vaguest correlation between these points of reference?
How does this country consistently manage to consult, deliberate, and arrive at such ill-conceived and ineffective passive "solutions" to problems it perpetually creates? Let’s examine the reality: South Africa has the highest unemployment rate in the world and the worst levels of inequality globally. Neighboring countries like eSwatini and Lesotho grapple with staggering HIV infection rates, mirrored here at home, while Lesotho also holds the tragic title of the highest suicide rates on Earth-trends that are alarmingly reflected in our own society. The overwhelming prevalence of traditional healers highlights a silent mental health epidemic, yet this critical issue is dismissed under the guise of culture. Literacy is in crisis-adults resemble children in their inability to read for meaning, and just like children, they struggle to grasp basic concepts, I mean look at this panel. Teenage pregnancies are rampant, yet the issue remains perpetually unaddressed. Hate crimes, r@pe, GBV, substance abuse, escalating crime rates, a glaring absence of anything positive, and an overwhelming surplus of everything detrimental-shall I continue? It feels as though every citizen is trapped in a cycle of ignorance, from corporate South Africa to the president, his cabinet, and the average citizen. We lead the world in all the wrong statistics, yet as a nation, we seem blissfully unaware or willfully indifferent to these alarming truths. How can solutions emerge when these dumb adults in charge consistently prioritize surface-level fixes over addressing the root causes? We don’t need to ban the plaster; we need to treat the wound, stupid!
You cannot educate the parents that fail the kids and no matter how much you teach the kids the parents are the downfall. People need to take responsibility for their choices. Take iwnership of you and stop blaming and relying on government, churches and handouts etc to sort you problem out because you cannot bring yourself to take ownership. People have lost their way. You blame poverty so if impoverished where do they get the money to buy alcohol? Cigarettes, drugs and now its everyone elses problem because you had no discipline and made the wrong choice. Take responsibility dont make excuses. Members of government have a hand in the profits of dispare why would they cut off their bonus.
To the first speaker: Do not compare the topic of Covid 19 in whatever you have to say . Never Ever use that mantra Ever again It's distasteful and reminds many of us that some are more equal than others. And by the way this is a non-racial statement!
im glad south africans are finally having this conversation
It is just going to disappear in thin air. It is a discussion which is not going to win politicians any votes - especially the ANC 😂😂😂

No surprise here. After spaza shops time to tell shebeen owners to register as l doubt that most shebeens have a liquor license.
Check the cadres books that are always partying at the expense of taxpayers; seldom working
Jerrr ANC policies have destroyed the country
Brilliant business idea. Bottle store will never go wrong
What's the source of this ranking? Where is the data?
Restricting the hours when alcohol can be bought is equivalent to making nice rows of chairs on the deck of the Titanic while it was sinking.

There are more poor people in Zambia, Malawi, Moz, Zimbabwe to name but a few and yet the drinking culture does not support your thinking.

We drink because of the ANC
victim mentality.
😂😂 Yes
no DNA just RSA🥳🥳
Alcohol drinking - high
GBV - high
Unemployment - high
Inequality - high
Criminal activities - high
Unsafe country - high
WHERE ARE WE GOING AS A COUNTRY?
Someone thinking out there "What other reason is there for drinking except getting drunk?"😂
I thought we were number 1
I think we are number one, the survey is incorrect... 😂😂
Even foreigners are starting to sell alcohol seeing an opportunity to make more money than running a spaza shop
Government wants it that way, if it were for them we would be ranked number one. Drinkink in public is not crime anymore, alcohol is easily accessible even to the under age.
And yet, South Africa is among the lowest performing countries in mathematics, ranking last out of 54 countries.
Nje the society is focused on wring things
It is the lowest. I mean number last.
Yessis, last in the world for job creations, but top 5 worldwide for drinking..our government keeps us wet..
Think positive .
At least we're good for something.
High crime , high corruption levels , alcoholism..
Booze tastes awful.

Ja, blame it on uppertyd.
Rightfully so
@@paultappan9055 By the way, it was the apartheid government which built beer halls at the entrances of townships and next to churches🤣🤣🤣

Raise the minimum age of drink to 21yrs old.
Yes , that way they can start on drugs instead.
What about the fact that south Africa is over population doesn't that contribute because it seems like this topic is specific to South africans
Limpopo liquor outlet lstores Taverns & Shebeend are owned by ANC cades in the villages and townships.
In heaven there is no beer , thats why we drink it here
Is it too much to ask for South Africa to be 1st in something, just something. Being fifth gets no medal.
They are first in Rugby. So what are you talking about?
we will need to work harder for that no 1 spot next year

Surprised we’re not in the top 3, and not third of second either.

Stop it she's married
Same people cry about unemployment but throw away money on alcohol
We must be number 1 in everything. 😂 after Christmas we will be .

Leave my beer alone.
Coz South Africans can afford to buy it

Compare the sales from Legit suppliers, and the volume of the Alcohol consumed
To me it just sounds like a campaign to close black owned businesses
Drugs and Alcoholism is a big problem in our societies,we need a national solution to reduce this problem otherwise South Africa is doomed.
Do you know how much Julius malmea spend on alcohol in a month😮you will be shocked
Maybe people think drinking, smoking is a fashion.

Where are the illegal places buying there stock at licensed outlets.

Would you prefer shebeen owners to buy there ?
