Western Cape Liquor Act Survives Challenge

Liquor Law – The Western Cape Liquor Act stood firm to a challenge by the Mitchells Plain Liquor Traders Association when the High Court ruled on Monday (26.5.14) that the sections under fire did in fact comply to the Constitution.   Several licensed liquor outlets in the Cape Metro have lost their on-consumption liquor licences over the past few months, mostly for selling liquor for consumption off the premises.   Authorities promised to continue strict enforcement of the liquor act.
