Western Cape MEC of Finance,
Economic Development and Tourism Alan Winde said it is important that
government must strike a balance when drafting regulations around alcohol.
MEC Winde said policymakers need to
take both the negative and positive economy of the liquor industry into
account.
Winde was speaking at Swartland
Liquor Forum on the Western Cape ’s goal
of changing behaviour around alcohol abuse.
MEC Winde said it was a very well
attended forum and this kind of forum helped society and government to find
each other in making sure that we move towards responsible trading and
responsible alcohol usage, because alcohol can be very good for the economy and
bad for the society and there is a need to find a solution.
