Western Cape community safety MEC Albert Fritz has appealed to the public to drink responsibly on Heritage Day and the long weekend.
Fritz said alcohol put strain on the health system. He made the plea after receiving reports of the past seven days from the provincial liquor authority. He said the liquor authority had conducted 320 inspections as well as 112 inspections focused on underage drinking.
The inspections were conducted in 31 different areas, including Gordons Bay, Table View, Constantia, Philippi, Newlands and Delft. Integrated operations between the liquor authority, police and other law enforcement agencies were also conducted in Gugulethu, Kraaifontein, Manenberg, Mitchells Plain, Ocean View, Atlantis and Malmesbury.
