The fight to lift the alcohol banin the restaurants of SouthAfrica has begun in earnest -and another legal letter hasbeen sent to Cabinet.Monday marks the first daythat restaurants will beallowed to open their doorsfor sit-in services, almost 100days after South Africaentered a hard lockdown.However, the industry is stilloperating under the terms ofan alcohol ban – and it’s setto face a legal challengebrought by the RestaurantAssociation of South Africa(Rasa).CAN RESTAURANTSSERVE ALCOHOL?Wendy Alberts is the CEO ofthe group. She spoke withCapeTalk earlier on Mondayto explain where Rasa findsitself at this pivotal moment.Although the reopening ofrestaurants is joyous newsfor business owners, therestrictions on alcohol haveput a dampener on things: No
sit-in patrons can order abeer, a glass of wine, or anyother form of liquor with theirfood.She stated that Rasa haveset their lawyers on EbrahimPatel, the trade minister, tooffer the government anultimatum: Alberts and hercolleagues have told theministry they have sevendays to lift the ongoingalcohol ban for diningvenues. For many
establishments, their futuresdepend on it.RASA GIVE GOVERNMENTSEVEN DAYS TORESPONDShould the government fail torespond to the legal request,they could find themselvesmired in more litigation.Cabinet – including PresidentCyril Ramaphosa andMinister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma – have already beentaken to court over the
controversial cigarette ban.Albertshas slammed the prohibitionof alcohol sales in allrestaurants as “ridiculous”:“We have certainly written avery strong lawyer’s letter toMinister Patel (DTI) and wehave given them seven daysfor them to answer us on thisnon-equivocal reality thatthere are no restaurants whoare allowed to sell alcohol.We find this completelyridiculous that they had notallowed it.”“Whilst we respect that theMinister of Tourism does nothave the mandate to do this,we have been pushed backto the DTI so we have giventhen seven days to lift thealcohol ban. Our restaurantsneed to be able to havealcohol with their meals… Tosave the industry we needthe alcohol ban to be lifted inrestaurants.”

WHEN it comes to money,even the smartest people canget ripped off. People need tobe careful when trying toenrich themselves, there’s nosuch a thing as instant money.You can’t trust anyone,especially with all thesepyramid schemes thatpromise huge returns.FALSE PROMISESWhenever the topic arises,the first question that peopleask is what a pyramid schemeis.A pyramid scheme is afraudulent investment thatdoesn’t benefit the investorbut the perpetrator. KalyaniPillay, the CEO of Sabric,explains that investors gethooked in by the falsepromises of getting hugereturns. She says theperpetrator makes a very
appealing and enticingpresentation to an averageperson. Because on thesurface, it looks legit, peoplejoin the schemes. “The firstfew investors are luckyenough to get a slice of thecake, this is nothing but a trickto get more investors and getthe existing members to put inmore money with the hopes ofdoubling the amount,” Kalyanisays. “Scammers will go togreat lengths to get victims toinvest in these schemesthrough the use of socialengineering tactics.” Millionsof people have lost theirlifetime savings to pyramidschemes while they werelooking out to magically makeeven more money in whatsounded like a ‘too good to betrue’ pitch, and indeed it was.Kalyani urges people to be
Avoid get rich quick schemes
realistic. She says peopleneed to be mindful beforemaking any hasty decisionswhen it comes to theirfinances. “They will evencome up with convincing,fabricated statistics to maketheir offer look attractive, soalways treat these kinds ofschemes with suspicion,” shesays.LEGIT INVESTMENTOPTIONSEveryone is out to make asteady figure, and it would bethe most unfortunateexperience to be the oneperson schemers make thatfigure from. It’s best to alwaysdo thorough research beforeputting your money intosomething, and don’t just takeanyone’s word for it. Beloware some of the investmentoptions for those who areready to take a chance and alittle risk with their finances thelawful way• Stokvel: This is an effectiveway to save your money,there are short and long-termsavings plans but it can bequite tricky to get a stokvelthat really meets your needs.• Retirement fund: Aretirement plan is the best wayto go if you are set on thefuture, you can start savingmonthly and get your moneygrowing and ready for whenyou retire.• Property: It’s unlikely to gowrong with property. It neverdepreciates. The more anarea develops, the more valuethe property has.• Stock Market: There’smoney to be made with stockas you are dealing with dollarsand pounds, but this option istricky. You can make money,and you can also lose a lot ofmoney, and you’ll probablyneed to hire a broker.• Shares: There’s also no
guarantee for this option aswell, anything can happen in aminute. You can either maketriple in a minute, or loseeverything in a second.THINGS TO CONSIDERBEFORE INVESTINGPyramid schemes can robone of their hardearned cash,but they are not the only onesthat can clean out yoursavings. First things first.Before making an investment,you need to prepare yourselffor anything, even if you areinvesting in an alreadyfunctioning and moneymaking business. PieterJansen van Vuuren, apsychologist and facilitator atSolstice, says there arealways risks surroundinginvestments. He says that theeconomy can take a toll onwhat was the most successfulcompany in the past. “Notevery investment will be asuccess. Things can change,just because it’s a bigestablishment does not meanthat your money is safe,” hesays.There are institutions whereyou can invest your moneywith a guaranteed interest.Everyone can get their moneygrowing, but Pieter says oneneeds to know exactly whatthey are in for. He says forthose who are not ready totake a gamble, the right waywould be going to the bankeven though the interest maybe small. “If you are not readyto take a loss, a bank is theway to go. You are sure to getall your money back after theperiod, with interest on top,”he advises. It’s best to knowyour nature. If you know thatyou are likely to be depressedafter taking a loss, it would bebest to avoid taking financialrisks.

Santaco confirmed taxi fare toincrease and come into effecton 1 July. Despite MinisterMbalula's pleas, taxi operatorswill be demanded more fromcommuters.Taxi fare increases applied asfrom 1 July 2020, puttingfurther financial strain onmillions of commuters whohave already suffered as aresult of the lockdown-inducedeconomic downturn.Following robustengagements with theDepartment of Transport andMinister Fikile Mbalula, theSouth African National TaxiCouncil (Santaco) — one ofthe largest public transportassociations in the country —announced that taxi fareswould be increased to combatthe negative financial impactof COVID-19 and thesubsequent lockdown.For months, the taxi industryhas languished under asevere bout of inactivity withlockdown Levels 4 and 5drastically decreasingcommuter volumes. Althoughrecent regulatory reprievesallow for a reopening of theeconomy, stringent health andsafety protocols — which limitpassenger capacities inminibus taxis to 70% —continue to plague the
industry’s revenue models.In an attempt to offset grievousfinancial losses, taxiassociations in Gauteng calledfor massive fare hikes. TheAlexandra Taxi Association(ATA) said that it would beforced to increase its fares by172% in the coming weeks.While Santaco rebuked themove to raise fares tounaffordable levels, theCouncil argued thatgovernment had failed toprovide the taxi industry withadequate financial assistance.In an attempt to forcegovernment’s hand, Santacosaid that it would support thecall for a provincial shutdownof taxi services.Mbalula revealed thatconsultations with Santacoand the National Taxi Council(NTC) had averted a proposedshutdown but thatexpectations placed ongovernment were unrealistic.On Thursday, Mbalulaelaborated on meetings withtaxi industry stakeholders,noting that while governmenthad committed to providefinancial relief, taxi operatorswould not be fullycompensated for lost revenue.Mbalula added that while taxioperators were well withintheir rights to raise fares, these
Taxi fare increase as of 1 July 2020price hikes needed to followinflation trends and notoverburden commuters withunaffordable tariffs.The minister noted that, as afundamental pillar of the publictransport sector, the taxiindustry needed to remainsustainable while catering tothe basic needs of commuters.The transport minister furtherexplained that consultationswith Santaco would resume on16 June.In the meantime, however,Santaco has resolved to
support across the board fareincreases.While the Council has not yetrevealed finer details of theincrease, industry insidersclaim that fares could likelyrise between 10% and 25%.While this increase is muchlighter than those proposed bythe ATA, these tariffsincreases will be out of linewith inflation rates noted byMbalula.Santaco is expected toprovide clarity on the taxi fareincreases in due course.

BOWLS MONEYStanding over the braai lastSunday a money making ideafor the Bowls Club struck me.There was a swirling breezewhich made avoiding thesmoke difficult. Soon I beganto smell like an igloo warmedwith a whale-fat fire.And I thought that the marketfor male deodorant is not ex-ploited. We need to develop adeodorant which would allowus to perspire on the greenwithout giving offence to Bet-tie, Lyn, Heather, Emily, To-ets, Suzi, Bronny, Debbie, Jill,Daph, Di, Dalene, Mary in ab-sentia, and any lady who putsin her tab. Then we market it.This deo needs to have fra-grances that enhance the im-age of the New Man: whocooks for the family, is kind tothe children, tolerant of thewife and mistress, indulgent tothe dog, prepared to washdishes, hang out the laundryand go shopping for vegeta-bles. But this deo must alsoexude an aura of muscularmasculinity; strength withcompassion, grace underpressure, love with his ballsshot off and kindness to smallfluffy animals. We could con-jure up a variety of braaismells. This choice of under-arm aroma will suit the men inour club. Each man has a dis-tinctive stink which the braaismoke deo will improve. Thiswill make the man easier to beclose to in a non-social dis-tancing on the rink and in thebar.1. Thornwood Mist: acaciaaroma for the discerning manof culture (Frans de Klerk).
2. Yellow Wood Waft: the tangof the fallen forest giant for thewoodsman (Mervyn).3. Briquette Bonanza: B O forthe Macho Man keen on quickmeat and unlimited beer(Knucklehead).4. Carpentry Offcuts: resin re-action for the DIY man (Vic).5. Wattle Wood: exotic mias-ma for the Godfather Figure(Ivor).6. Cowdung Patties: for theman who smells like hesmokes his own floor (themystery man lurking near theladies’ loo).7. Wet Willow Wood: the lin-gering aroma of “Rub of theGreen” to attract attractive la-dy skips to his tube of Grippo(Brian in Port Alfred).8. Sandalwood Wood: for thatspecial, enigmatic aroma. Thiswill be the piece de resistance,an intimate deodorant for men,called “On the Ball” (compul-sory for all male members).9. Copies of the Constitution:recycled pulped wood smell(Gordon).10. Natal Knobwood: knobki-errie in aspic aroma delicatelysuffused with cigarette after-burn to add piquancy to thearmpit (Willie).11. Gum Tree Chips: for thefaint odour of eucalyptus andthe rabbi in the bush (Bushcat).Etiquette # 9: Never, but neversay “thank you” if your oppo-nent happens to give the shotaway. Rather say, “ha ha hardluck”.
