Western Cape MEC of Finance, Economic Development and Tourism Alan Winde together with Liquor Authority has put together an action plan in place to eradicate liquor licence application red tape. 

MEC Winde said there has been a backlog of applications for liquor licences under the old Act. 

Winde said they have put an extra committee in place to work on the backblocks and also refined the system to ensure that it works easier.

He added that those that are not complying with the new system will deal with the police or risk having their licenses confiscated.
