Heavy Fines for Ignoring Liquor Trading Hours

Liquor Law – The Western Cape Liquor Authority has issued fines of R50 000 (Springbok Pub – Stellenbosch) and R40 000 (Saldanha Liquors) for trading outside of legal liquor trading hours.   In addition to fining transgressors, a number of liquor traders, from Observatory to George, were closed down in the last year.  This is the result of the Liquor Authority stepping up its campaign against liquor traders who disregard the basic conditions of their liquor licences.

The Western Cape Liquor Authority confirmed that liquor traders with a “blatant disregard” for the Western Cape Liquor Act, will be prosecuted.
