KwaThema spokesperson, Warrant Officer Peter Tebeila, says the tendency of non-compliance will eventually result in serious ramifications for the traders.

“This may include the liquor licence being confiscated and the arrest of the trader.

“One of the biggest challenges we are facing is the traders who sell liquor without licences.

“We are advising them to apply for proper trading licences,” he says.
