Cape Town plans to introduce new alcohol laws in two phases

The Western Cape government is working towards updating its laws around the sale of alcohol, with alcohol abuse closely tied to violent crimes in the province.

Pretty much what I thought after reading that.. it’s got the right wing sense of action yet inaction as a lot is up to interpretation with no concrete requirements.

Eg reasonable methods of determining age.. imagine this was used for statutory rape. If there is one thing you learn living in SA it’s that unless it’s documented, there is an idiot or nut job out there who thinks they can outsmart the system.. this why laws in SA from 94 to now keep getting more concrete vs specific requirements.

Similar with sales history.. well I have an invoice for 10 beers and sales from pos shows 10 beers, I’m covered hey.

They must drink before they make laws, like that other party.
