Western Cape MEC of Economic Opportunities Alan Winde has welcomed the suspension of the liquor license of Osi’s Place in Makaza, Khayelitsha.

This is after eight people several of them underage died after a steel staircase gave away last week Sunday.

The Provincial Liquor Authority made the decision this morning and MEC Winde says this is a victory for the Liquor Authority and the community of Khayelitsha.

Ministerial Spokesperson Bronwynne Jooste said this is a warning to all traders who are bringing the harm in the communities in the Western Cape that irresponsible behaviour will not be tolerated and while the Western Cape liquor authorities will continue to work for the City of Cape Town and SAPS to conduct regular operations.

“We also need residence to partner up with us to root out all those who are breaking the law”.

Together we can stand up and fight the negative impact of alcohol abuse, Jooste added.
