Lesufi posted on social media that he received a brief on the project and that he is excited about the initiative.

But Not In My Name says it's reckless for a premier to encourage alcohol consumption, especially in a violent country like South Africa.

The organisation has called on Lesufi to withdraw his remarks and apologise.
