Ten alcohol vendors in the Western Cape have had their licences suspended for contravening the National Disaster Regulations which prohibit the sale of alcohol during the national lockdown.
Cape Town - Ten liquor licences have been suspended following 37 investigations by the Western Cape Liquor Authority on matters of non-compliance with the National Disaster Regulations whereby liquor traders sold alcohol during the lockdown period.
“I have requested that the WCLA ensure that any outlet which contravenes the lockdown conditions be liable for a maximum fine of up to R115,610 or have their licence revoked permanently, subject to investigation,” Fritz said. "I further welcome the resolution taken by PROVJOINTS on 25 March that no alcohol will be returned to any outlet after paying admission of guilt fine,” he said.
