Since the extension of South Africa’s lockdown by 14days, people have been affected in different ways. Many unemployed single women in Ikemeleng have started employing their skills they acquired from their parents for survival. These women have now started brewing traditional beer and sell it to the community members for income.
In the past, people in the community used to drink home brewed beer only when there were cultural ceremonies. Now it is a way of making money. People are desperate for alcohol. unfortunately, some of these women do not have the skills to brew beer. Their beers often cause diarrhea, and one person was even admitted in hospital due to diarrhea cause by the ill-brewed beer.
