Swaziland COVID-19 alcohol ban protest banned
Alcohol production and sales were banned in Swaziland in March 2020 as part of a range of measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Many of those measures have now been lifted but the ban on alcohol sales remains in place. A protest organised by the Swaziland National Liquor Association to submit a petition against the alcohol ban to the Prime Minister and to the South African High Commission was due to take place on 18 September but has also been banned.
