IN CONVERSATION WITH NOMCEBO DLAMINI, THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN ALCOHOL POLICY ALLIANCE IN SOUTH AFRICA(SAAPA SA)

South Africa needs to move beyond telling people to “drink responsibly” and confront the price, availability and marketing of alcohol if it wants to reduce the harm linked to drinking, according to the Southern African Alcohol Policy Alliance in South Africa (SAAPA SA).
The call comes ahead of the National Alcohol Summit, which will bring government, civil society, researchers, youth organisations and communities together at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg from 1 to 3 October.
The summit comes amid concern over alcohol’s contribution to road deaths, violence, injury and pressure on health services, as well as harmful drinking among young people and alcohol use during pregnancy.
Nomcebo Dlamini, SAAPA SA campaign director, said awareness campaigns had a role but needed to be backed by stronger policy measures.
