AN AFRICAN has to work three hours on average to afford a beer, compared with 12 minutes for a European, and yet the continent is the global hot spot for beer growth to the extent that the world's big brewers are struggling to keep pace.
We have an already high drug, crime, alcoholism, drinking & driving, teenager pregragnacy, domestic abuse, divorce, etc....and to a large extend they are all fuelled by alcohol....no thanks we do not want anymore beer. African consumer that staff as if they had to work 3 minutes in order for them to afford it Report Abuse
That is just pure unfairness and greediness by the South African capitalists, we all have a stake to this product (beer) because is produced from our land by our hard working farm workers at lower costs and underrated salaries. Why should the beer be that expensive for workers who spend three hours to afford one, I am not in favour of nationalisation of land and other asserts , but if capitalists are getting away with it for their selfish endgain to deprive our people even of little pleasure and priviledge from what they sweating for on their land, I fully back nationalisation of land without compensation , because it only benefits the greedy hypocrits.
