1 on every 4,5 litres of alcohol traded in SA is now an illicit product (22% of market) vs 1 in 6,5 litre in 2017. The size of the illicit market now larger than the total 🇿🇦domestic wine🍷 and cider market! #enforcementfailure #joblosses #socioeconomiccrisis @Vinpro_za
Illicit alcohol trade has increased siginificantly in South Africa in 2020, due to the #alcoholbans, says @Euromonitor International.
The growth in illicit sales has had a devastating social impact, stalls economic recovery & fuels organised crime.
