There are some roasters who are able to continue roasting for their supermarket partners and for home deliveries (we will keep you posted if this changes), but in the meantime support your local roasteries!
Government Gazette 43148, Page 10 A.1.i classifies Non-Alcoholic Beverages in the same grouping as food products(Coffee is a non-alcoholic beverage unless you choose to add something to it). The industry body (SCASA) had a discussion with the relevant government department and confirmed the interpretation of the above regulations. Roasters can apply for certificate to operate in a limited capacity.
The Courier Guy seems to be the authorised Courier service during this time.
Takealot and online grocery stores are delivering coffee as they can deliver food products. Most roasteries are operating on skeleton staff/one human and all are practising proper sanitising.
Roasteries, please get in touch with us so we can add you to this page, we will constantly be updating it (mel@magazine.coffee).
