Beer for economic growth.....

I get this rumour about my social welfare, IMAGINE. take this as a serious reprimand to whosoever is spreading this malicious message.

I THOUGHT AS FRIENDS YOU SHOULD READ THIS BEFORE I GO TO THE PRESS & DISTRIBUTE THIS RUMOUR.

Somebody is trying to cause alarm and despondency by spreading a very dangerous rumour about ME.

I have it on very good authority that someone is telling people that I have stopped drinking! Imagine ME of all people in the “Beer Drinking Industry”!

I therefore would like to categorically state that at no point did I ever attempt to stop drinking, contemplated the idea, let alone even dreamt about it!

May whosoever is responsible for this know that this doesn't only impact negatively on my person, but the Community and the Country as a whole. Let's say I stop drinking today, imagine the steep drop in the sales of the waters of wisdom.

Think of the job losses at the Breweries, Watering holes I frequent and all those downstream activities. Simply put it, it will be a very, very sad day across the economic divide if any such thing were to ever happen. Look, because of the drop in sales, Brewers and other Suppliers will have no choice but increase the prices of their products and services, thereby pushing inflation up! So may this person be advised that the Country is fighting day and night to contain inflation the Country's number one enemy.

I would like to believe that whosoever started this unfortunate rumour did not look beyond the social implications of their mischief for this is more Political than they can imagine.

Dear Friends, let's not force poverty into our Homes. This is your little contribution towards this country's economic turnaround effort, yet someone is bent on sabotaging ME. Why of all People!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
