Checkers is a prominent supermarket group operating across South Africa. It is currently trending due to a legal challenge in Pinelands, a Cape Town suburb that has maintained a 'dry' status, prohibiting liquor sales for over a century. Checkers' application for a liquor license there has sparked significant local opposition, with residents and councillors fighting to preserve the area's unique historical character. This situation underscores the tension between commercial development and long-standing community traditions in South Africa.
