DBN Gogo has landed herself into hot water following her tweet regarding alcohol ban.
President Ramaphosa announced the ban of alcohol as the country enters into level 3 of lockdown.
Many South African celebrities have come out to share their view on the alcohol ban but DBN Gogo was used as scape goat.
The hitmaker questioned why only grooves and the sale of alcohol have been shut down, instead of the entire country.
Since then, and as the number of infections increases daily, conversations around Covid have dominated social media.
DBN question was triggered after the Thokoza Café artist asked (in a now-deleted tweet) why couldn’t the entire country be on pause and not just booze and the jol.
After a tweep was like “???”, DBN Gogo explained that she was asking for a simple answer to her simple question.
“It’s a simple question. If social gatherings are the issue, why have they not all been closed? When groove and alcohol were shut. Why wasn’t it all shut?,” asked DBN Gogo.

Responding to this, the tweep explained that partying and taking alcohol may lead to the wide spread of the virus
However, the star lambasted the government, claiming that it was not truly dealing with the issues head-on.
“But was the first lockdown not implemented to prepare for worst-case scenario? That’s literally why we shut down hard and early. My problem is gov not actually dealing with this. But finding scapegoats,” she tweeted.

Definitely social responsibility but we all know and see that we are not a responsible nation. If people didn’t listen then why would they listen now. It’s just convenient to blame it on two things when it’s just not that simple https://t.co/rr6AnSnnCe

I don’t think going to KFC is the same as attending groove.

Ma’am the introduction of the 9 PM curfew was an attenpt at this. Bars and alcohol being closed was an attempt at this. Parks, beaches AND ALL places were people gather being closed was an attempt at this. What exactly are you on about??
