Now that online shopping restrictions has been lifted, I strongly suspect that many of us
will be heading to our laptops and computers for some retail therapy to lift our spirits
Trade and Industry Minister Ebrahim Patel gazetted the amendments on Thursday after
consultation with Cooperative Governance Minister Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma and
aside from alcohol and cigarettes, South Africans are no longer restricted about what
products they may buy online, with immediate effect.
According to the new regulations, e-commerce sites and customers receiving packages
must comply with new requirements to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. E-tailers
are also required to promote local goods.
