Saapa SA calls for moratorium on licences allowing alcohol to be sold at petrol stations | kaylynnpalm
CAPE TOWN - The Southern African Alcohol Policy Alliance is calling on provincial liquor authorities to implement an immediate moratorium on awarding licences to allow alcohol to be sold at petrol stations.
They want the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition to step in and talk to provincial departments responsible for liquor licensing. "We're going to be pushing Cabinet because a number of ministers in Cabinet have over the past year indicated that they believe we need better legislation. We are in contact with a number of organisations globally that are looking at the issue of global alcohol harm, global alcohol policy alliance."
"We have a problem with alcohol on our roads and this is from the World Health Organization, 52% of fatally injured drivers have alcohol levels above 0.05," Parry said.
