Some South Africans have pledged to be creative if the Limpopo Department of Health institutes a ban on the sale of booze on those choosing not to get vaccinated.

This is after Limpopo Health MEC Phophi Ramathuba said the province is in discussions with the alcohol industry over several proposals that include preventing unvaccinated people from purchasing liquor.

Limpopo is the first province to consider imposing a ban on the sale of alcohol to this group. The bombshell has caused a massive frenzy online as alcohol-drinking South Africans rubbished the potential move.
