Petition addressed to: National Treasury Of South Africa
Make alcohol less affordable and accessible than essentials by increasing excise tax on alcohol , so we protect youth and reduce the social/economic cost.
Reason
1.Alcohol is too cheap → When beer costs the same as bread, more youth buy it. Cheap alcohol = more harm, hospital visits, school dropouts, and lost jobs.
2. Higher tax = higher price → If alcohol costs more, fewer people drink too much, especially young people with little money.
3. Money goes back to fix the damage → Extra tax can fund youth jobs, treatment centres, and community programmes
Thank you so much for your support, SAAPA, Mbombela
