As the country transitioned to lockdown Alert Level 3 on 1 June, residents across Sandton took up the opportunity to replenish their supply on alcohol.
During Level 3, members of the public are able to purchase alcohol for home consumption from Mondays to Thursdays between 9am and 5pm.
Social media users were sure to document their thoughts and experiences as they stood in line outside various stores in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Woodmead.
