Western Cape MEC of Finance, Economic Development Alan and Tourism Alan Winde said a Woostock tavern where drugs were allegedly being sold has had its license revoked. 

This is the third tavern that has lost its license under the Western Cape Liquor Act. 

Winde said this follows an investigation by Saps and community complaints about the tavern. 

MEC Winde said the message is that we are really serious about taking community complaints seriously and we still need liquor license operators to operate responsible, and if they do this then it is good for the economic and good for their customers.

“We know we have a real problem around liquor abuse and where we see this irresponsible behaviour we will clamp down on those people” Winde added.
