The Western Cape Liquor Authority
together with the Provincial Department of Finance, Economic Development and
Tourism will begin clamping down on non-compliant liquor licence holders across
the province in the months to come.
Earlier this month the liquor authority
conducted 246 liquor inspections including Oudtshoorn, Ladysmith, and Prince
Albert .
This operation comes after scores of
complaints from residents in the Southern Cape .
Ministerial Spokesperson Bronwynne
Jooste said just 89 premises were found to be fully complaint with the liquor
authority and there were 157 non-complaint.
Jooste added that there is a need
for licence holder to be educated about their responsibilities with regards to
compliance.
“The liquor authority also inspected
24 establishments following complaints from the residents in the area. Based on
the evidence found these case will be fully investigated” Jooste said.
