South Africa entered an unprecedented national lockdown on 27 March 2020, to fight the spread of the novel coronavirus. At its peak, the country saw in excess of 12,000 new Covid-19 infections a day.
Now, 178 days later, the country enters Alert Level 1, after one of the most stringent lockdowns in the world, with bans on alcohol and cigarette sales for months at a stretch.
The illicit cigarette and alcohol trade boomed, as did the prices of pineapples – used by many South Africans to brew their own alcohol.
