'Lucky escape' for beachgoer as City officers confiscates tens of beer cans at Clifton Beach
The City of Cape Town has reminded Capetonians and visitors that alcohol is prohibited at the municipality’s recreational facilities
According to the City, since the beginning of the festive season,
law enforcement officers confiscated 1 256 bottles of alcohol, specifically at
beaches.
The latest confiscation was on Friday, when officers found
53 cans of beer at Clifton Beach, craftily hidden in a hole dug in the Beach
sand and the internal plastic container of a public refuse bin inserted into
the hole to contain the cans.

officers know most of the tricks,’’ said Wayne Dyason, City of Cape Town Law
Enforcement Principle Inspector.

fined and their alcohol will be confiscated.
‘’The City's Law Enforcement officers deployed to the
beaches continue to fine and confiscate the alcohol of beachgoers who despite
many messages from the City about the dangers and illegality of alcohol consumption
on the City's beaches persist in drinking on the beach or in some cases selling
it on the beach,’’ said Dyason.
