Durban metro cops to use noise complaints to crack down on house gatherings Durban’s eThekwini Metro Police have said they will rely on noise gathering complaints to crack down on house parties and gatherings going forward.
This comes as South Africa entered level three of the lockdown on Monday and with alcohol sales also allowed, police expect an increase in lockdown regulations - including home gatherings, which are not allowed under alert level three of the lockdown.
He said in the first week since alcohol was allowed to be sold to the public, they had charged a number of outlets that were selling booze after beyond 5pm. “We are going to start looking at the noise levels and noise complaints. We do from time to time have a good few amount of calls of people having house parties, the metro police will act on those contravening bylaws and the regulations,” he said.
He said although the breathalyser would not be in use, police officers had been trained and would use their competencies.
