An owner of a Cape Winelands bottle
store is facing a two year jail term for allegedly withholding farm workers
personal documents until they’d settled their alcohol debt.
During a joint search operation
between the Liquor Authority and the South African Police Service on the
premises, 58 identity documents, 14 SASSA cards and bank cards with relevant
pin numbers were found.
Ministerial Spokesperson Bronwynne
Jooste said this is an area of concern and liquor Authority has said they will
be clamping down on this problem in the months to come.
Jooste added that they are urging members
of the community to report this kind of irresponsible trading.
