Two errant liquor licence holders had their establishment closed down by the Western Cape Liquor Authority and a further two outlets received harsh penalties for selling alcohol outside of their trading hours.
MEC of Finance, Economic Development and
Tourism Alan Winde said over the past three months starting from December last
year three outlets in Woodstock, Elsie’s River and Mitchell’s Plain lost their
trading license.
Ministerial Spokesperson Bronwynne Jooste
said MEC Winde has congratulated the Liquor Authority for their efforts in
bringing alcohol establishments to book for breaking the law.
Jooste said the MEC said this is clear
message to license holders that irresponsible trading will not be
tolerated. In addition the authorities
hosting programmes are being held for all licenses holders to make sure that
they are aware of the liquor act.
