In the Western Cape, a liquor licence is required by any person who is micro-manufacturing or selling liquor for retail purposes. In the Western Cape a "retail seller" is a person who is licensed in terms of the Liquor Act 27 of 1989 to sell liquor for the purposes of consumption (includes consumption on the licensed premises and consumption off the licensed premises).
The Western Cape Liquor Board is the public entity which considers applications and makes decisions with regard to applications, while the Directorate: Liquor Regulation oversees the administrative as well as compliance and enforcement aspects of the Liquor Act.
If you are a manufacturer, or distributor you are required to register with the National Liquor Authority.
It is a criminal offence to sell liquor without a licence and the South African Police Service can take steps against such a person and close down the business. |
