Restaurants have been all but abandoned by government - Restaurants Association of SA

Loading player...
In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight, we discuss how the restaurant industry has been affected by the pandemic, restrictions on trading hours and liquor sales.

Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Wendy Alberts, CEO of the Restaurants Association of SA (RASA), an industry body, to discuss the issues.

The discussion focuses on the plight of restaurant owners during this time, the hardship faced by employees and suppliers, the alleged abuse of liquor licenses by different businesses, the burden of negotiating with landlords and lenders, the need for greater support of the industry and ways in which operators can ensure compliance, thereby reducing the risk of future restrictions on the industry.

Listen in to hear the full discussion and thoughts around these and other questions.

Business Day Spotlight is a MultimediaLIVE Production.
