BEFORE YOUR NEW YEAR’S TOAST, READ THIS. South Africa is being BLEED DRY by a festival of alcohol—and massive corporations are laughing all the way to the bank.
While families celebrate, the cash registers SCREAM. Alcohol sales explode from R400 million a day to a staggering R1-BILLION in the days before New Year’s. This isn’t just celebration. It’s a calculated, aggressive assault on your wallet and health.
Billion-rand companies are PUSHING poison with bulk-buy deals and non-stop advertising. Advocacy leader Kashifa Ancer reveals the terrifying truth: this “economic boom” is a national suicide pill. “An estimated 10 to 12 percent of South Africa’s GDP goes toward addressing alcohol-related harm,” she states. That’s money stolen from hospitals, roads, and policing to clean up the carnage.
While retailers swim in holiday profits, YOU pay the hidden tax. Your safety, your healthcare, your family’s security—all sacrificed so that bottles can flow freely. Authorities stay SILENT as the body count and financial ruin mount.
Calls for tougher regulations are being drowned out by the clink of glasses and the roar of cash machines. “South Africa simply cannot afford to lose this amount of money anymore,” Ancer warns.
The party has a price, and they’ve already charged it to your future.
