KZN Liquor Licence Holders Raided

Liquor Act Compliance  -  Six liquor licensed outlets were closed down and fines worth R20 000 issued to non-compliant licence holders.   This followed a combined raid on 57 licensed outlets by the SAP, KZN Liquor Board and the Ethekwini Metropolitan Municipality on 4 June.  Taverns, Restaurants, Manufacturers and Liquor Distributors in the greater Durban area were targeted.   

Spokesmen for the National Liquor Authority (NLA) and the KZN Liquor Board warned that more raids would be conducted in future.   They expressed concern that liquor licence holders seem to be ignorant of important information regarding their licence conditions.

LiquorWise remind liquor licence holders that it is their duty to ensure they are aware of their licence conditions, as well as sections of their provincial Liquor Act applicable to their specific business.   Contact LiquorWise for free advice on Liquor Laws.
