Cape Town eases liquor by-laws

2012-03-01 13:11

Cape Town - The City of Cape Town has eased its liquor by-laws, according to a report on Thursday.

Mayor Patricia de Lille said it now distinguished between alcohol sales and consumption, according to the Cape Times newspaper.

She said the by-law recognised some areas as social spots with minimal disruption potential.

"It allows for champagne breakfasts. It allows for wine-tasting.

"It allows for a range of activities that were unnecessarily excluded. It allows for trade," she was quoted by the newspaper as saying in a council meeting.

"It will allow for enforceability where there are social disruptions and it will allow for a degree of preventing the kind of excess that allows for abuse."

Latest comment in South Africa

Sean Bagley says... La question is:"Why did it take the goats-herder leader Zoomer and his ANC cadres so long to come out with a statement on Gupta?The clown is government must surely believe their own hype that the rest of South Africa is as stupid as they are. Brainf@rt Zuma says:"Waterkloof Airforcebase is not a national key point",and that's right its just a bloody playground the filthy rich in South Africa to land their model airplanes disguised as a strategic military base right? Oh and by the way mieliepap that is Zuma can we South Africans start using Waterkloof for family picnics and car racing events?And the same question for the Nkandla military compound of Zuma. Infantile and backwards is still the trademark for all African leaders as we know them.And then again the clown that is Zuma has just raised that bar just a little higher than it used to be with his incompetence.
