In an effort to encourage people to behave responsibly, Kolisi has joined forces with one of South Africa’s leading alcohol companies to spearhead a responsible drinking campaign this holiday season.
Despite COVID-19 restrictions, there will probably be plenty of holiday celebrations after an incredibly tough year, and with that, the inevitable consumption of alcohol. Any carnage on our roads over this end of year break will only add to our already severely burdened health care systems.
A teetotaller himself, Kolisi is not anti-alcohol, but he is very much in favour of its responsible consumption, especially when it comes to drinking and driving. Kolisi has partnered with Pernod Ricard, a France based spirits and champagne company, to drive this vitally important message home.
Take a look right here – and then keep sharing it so that together we can stay safe on our roads this festive season.

According to the new National Road, Traffic Amendment Bill, which has been approved by Cabinet but not yet enacted, the permissible blood alcohol level for driving will be 0%. Currently, the blood alcohol limit is 0.05 grams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, and 0.24 milligrams of alcohol per 1000 millilitres of breath (lower for professional drivers).
