Why Bheki Cele could face a legal challenge for confiscating alcohol via TheCitizen_News
The sale of alcohol was banned under lockdown Level 5, which was enforced on 27 March, and it remained in place during Level 4. However, the ban was lifted on 1 June when Level 3 regulations came into effect. Regulation 44 does not state that the transportation of alcohol on weekends is prohibited.
However, Johannesburg metro police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar told News24 the transportation of alcohol is only allowed during the stipulated time, not on weekends. But law expert advocate Deon Pool told News24 that nothing in Level 3 regulations stipulates that alcohol should not be transported. He said confiscating alcohol was tantamount to theft.
“The minister is overreaching and can face a legal challenge. He can’t make up the rules as he goes by,” he said.
