Cape Town - More than 60 investigations have been conducted by the Western Cape Liquor Authority into liquor licence holders who allegedly failed to adhere to the lockdown regulations.
Community Safety MEC Albert Fritz said as of June 1, the sale of alcohol was again permitted. It was stated that licensed premises may sell liquor from Monday to Thursday, excluding Friday to Sunday and public holidays. He said the WCLA would continue to work closely with the police to report unlicensed premises and ensure the necessary action against them.
“One premise was found selling 48 crates of beer to an individual who allegedly owns an unlicensed outlet. Two similar cases are in the process of being referred to the LLT for consideration,” he said.
