Some matters can be decided by the chairperson or deputy chairperson and certain powers can be delegated. The Liquor Board is a quasi judicial body and should follow a process akin to that in a court of law but it is the prerogative of the chairperson to determine the process. **The Board considers and decides the following matters:** - Applications for new licenses; - Applications for the transfer of licenses; - Applications for the removal of licenses; - Applications for the acquisition of a financial interest in a liquor licensed business; The chairperson can consider and decide applications for exemption, structural alterations, appointment of an interested party to be in control of the licensed business if the licensee has died or absconded, etc. Once a decision has been taken, the decision-maker is **“functus officio”**, meaning he or it cannot change its mind and take a replacing decision. The only way of turning such a decision around is to ask the High Court to review the same, as will be discussed later. Almost all applications must be done in a prescribed manner on prescribed forms and decisions usually are issued in a prescribed manner and on a prescribed form. A license comes into being by it being issued. It is given a reference number and a “license” consists of this first document, a so called Form 4, and all further documents issued in respect thereof. It simply means that your license file grows every year and all of it must be on the licensed premises. The Liquor Board is **“a creature of statute”** and cannot expect of an applicant more than is prescribed or do more than it is empowered to do by virtue of its empowering legislation. It is obliged to do what its empowering legislation empowers it to do and if it does not, you can approach the High Court to make it do its work. Anybody may appear before The Board in person or as representative of somebody else but if you are not a lawyer, you must hold a power of attorney. **THE DPO** The provincial commissioner of police must appoint a police officer as Designated Police Officer in respect of each magisterial district in the province. A DPO can be appointed for more than one district. The DPO must file reports in respect of various types of applications, he/she must do a yearly inspection of a licensed premises and report to The Board in respect of any contraventions of the Act and when a licensee or its nominated, responsible person, becomes disqualified from holding a license. The DPO is a functionary of The Board and if the DPO does not **“report”** it is for The Board to deal with it, not the applicant. **THE MAGISTRATE** Licences are grouped by magisterial district and almost all applications are initiated by lodgment of the application with **“The Magistrate”**, which is the magistrate of the relevant district. You cannot lodge an application at the magistrate of a detached office. The magistrate has no decision-making powers. The magistrate receives applications, allows people to inspect it and in certain cases to file objections; He/She must forward copies of applications to the DPO for reporting and ultimately forward everything to The Liquor Board. The only decision–making power The Magistrate has is to grant special and occasional licenses and The Liquor Board and its members have no competency in this respect. **INSPECTORS** The Board can appoint inspectors who will then almost do what the DPO does but their powers are more limited than those of the DPO. They usually report on premises which are already licensed and in respect of the completion of premises for purposes of the issuing of licences. # North West Provincial Liquor Board – Liquor License Application Procedure - **Complete [Form 2](//www.gpwonline.co.za/Gazettes/Pages/Liquor-License-Gazette.aspx) and advertise notices in Government Gazette.** - **[Form 1](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Form1-North-West-Liquor-License-Application-Form.docx) – Complete form 1 – application form in three (3) copies.

The legislation differs greatly from other provincial legislation on the subject and can be described as the most progressive of all. The legislation makes provition for the **Mpumalanga Liquor Authority Board** who exercises control over the **Mpumalanga Liquor Authority** which is an independent legal entity in terms of the legislation. The Mpumalanga Liquor Authority Board is referred to as the Board and it is responsible for the administration of the act. The Board must appoint a Chief Executive Officer as the head of the administration and it can delegate almost all its powers to either the CEO, the chairperson of the Board or committees established in terms of the legislation. The legislation also provides for an internal appeal process in terms whereof one can appeal to the MEC, which simply means that one cannot “test” a decision of the Board in court before it was brought before and decided by the MEC on appeal or review. The act provides for the transfer of licences from one name to another, but not for the removal of a licence from one address to another. In the latter case one will have to bring a new **“replacing”** application to “relocate” licensed premises to a new address. ![Liquor License Mpumalanga](https://liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Liquor-License-Mpumalanga.avif)Liquor License Mpumalanga**The following is a brief summary of the process of applying for a new licence:** # *SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURE OF MPUMALANGA LIQUOR ACT* **1.

In addition to advertising in the government gazette but not more than 7 days before lodgment (usually the Wednesday before the first Friday of the month on which you will lodge) you must also advertise in two newspapers in the area and proof of the advertisement must be attached. The application gets lodged at the regional office of the Respondent being referred to as the local committee offices of which there are six in the province of Gauteng, being: - Tshwane (which is the Pretoria Metropolitan Area); - Johannesburg (which is the Johannesburg Metropolitan Area); - West Rand (which is the West Rand Metropolitan Area); - Ekurhuleni (which is the Ekurhuleni or East Rand Metropolitan Area); - Sedibeng (which was known as the Vanderbijl Park, Vereeniging area); and - The Kungwini Local Committee (which includes the Nokeng and Kungwini Municipalities, previously Cullinan and Bronkhorstspruit areas). The application must be lodged on the first Friday of a month and payment of an application fee must be made and proof thereof must be contained in the application at lodgement. Each local committee has a “local committee” consisting of appointed members who must evaluate the application as lodged and who must then make a recommendation to the Gauteng Provincial Liquor Board. According to the Act all of this must be done within 21 ***(TWENTY ONE)*** days. The Act also provides that anybody who wants to object against an application can do so within 21 ***(TWENTY ONE)*** days from the date of lodgment of an application and an inspector of the Gauteng Provincial Liquor Board also must file a report in respect of the application, within 21 (TWENTY ONE) days from lodgment. The provisions of the Act as briefly quoted in the previous paragraph, is somewhat impossible as the local committee can only consider the application once the period for objections have expired and a report has been filed and I accordingly believe that it should be read as providing that the local committee must consider and recommend in respect of an application within 21 ***(TWENTY ONE)*** days after the expiry of the 21 ***(TWENTY ONE)*** days for objections and/or the report, or, to put it differently, within 42 ***(FORTY TWO)*** days from the date of lodgment. If objections are filed of record against an application, the process at the local committee level can take longer if the local committee decides to have an open hearing to afford the interested parties the opportunity of making oral submissions to the local committee. This may add another two weeks to the process. The local committee must send its recommendation through to the Gauteng Liquor Board and the board must then consider the same and decide the same. This merely means that the papers must be received, prepared to be tabled before the Gauteng Liquor Board and the Gauteng Liquor Board must decide. This certainly cannot take more than a month. If there are objections or if the Gauteng Liquor Board mero moto wants to raise any issues in respect of an application, it may consider it necessary to convene a meeting at which all the parties can make oral submissions. This may add another month to the process.

This category is mostly unrestricted, which means that the developer or owner would be allowed to have almost any type of shop on the premises. **Business 2** – a zoning for a shopping center, but with certain restricted businesses. For example, because of the location or immediate surroundings a restriction may be placed on opening a bottle store, or a pet shop. **Business 3** – a more strict zoning which will not allow a wider variety of businesses to open and operate in the center. **Business 4** – the final zoning category for business, and does not involve shopping centers or malls at all. It provides for office use (with or without residential use) and is typified by the growing number of office parks that one sees in South African urban centers today. **Industrial Zoning** is very much part of the business sector however this zoning relates more to factories and other manufacturing and distribution plants. **Industrial 1** – provides zoning for normal factories, warehouses or storage depots. **Industrial 2** – specifically for operations which can involve noxious and/or unpleasant odours and emissions. **Industrial 3** – caters for specific applications such as specialist workshops or mini-factories. # Business Rights The **Land Use Rights** of a property plays an important role in your **Liquor License Application**. A Municipality begins with the planning process of land. This result is the **Zoning** of property, which allows certain uses and prohibits certain uses of such land. This process regulates the subdivision of land, street plans, plans for public facilities and building regulations. This planning process plans for the construction of schools, roads, sewage, water and electricity supply, policing, fire protection, **businesses** and other. ## Zoning **Zoning of a property** is the regulation put in place to preserve the character of the area and in turn regulate health, safety, welfare, morals, and limit nuisance disturbance to land users. **Zoning** must promote land use to the best interest of the occupants. It acts as a stabilizing factor in neighborhoods and preserves the character of the community. The essential purpose of **Zoning** is to segregate **Residential, Agricultural, Commercial (business), and Industrial areas** from one another. Regulations have been put into place to protect residential areas from encroachment by petrol stations, businesses causing a nuisance, factories, liquor outlets, and other disturbances. Factors taken into consideration are traffic, character of neighborhoods, the fitness of the land involved and influence on property values. The Zoning of a property regulate, among other things the **Nuisance** emanating from the use of a property. That is “An unreasonable, unwarranted or illegal use of property that infringes the rights of other people.” Therefore the quiet enjoyment of a person’s property is invaded by a person, causing the nuisance without that individual actually physically invading your property. A nuisance can affect one’s health, morals, safety, welfare, comfort or convenience. It is therefore important to ensure that the proposed property is correctly **zoned** for the **Application of a Liquor License**. If you apply for a liquor license on i.e. a residential zoned property your application may be refused, resulting in a financial loss. The Municipality also has the right to close down your business if you trade on a premises Zoned for residential. ## Before you apply for a Liquor License To make sure that the Zoning of the proposed premises does not prohibit the application of a **Liquor License**. You can apply for a Zoning Certificate at your local Municipality. Under the Gauteng Liquor Act, the applicant of a Liquor License in Gauteng for a **Liquor Store, Pub, Tavern, pool club, and Night club** must obtain, in writing, a local authority approval to apply for such a liquor license. This is in addition to any Zoning laws. It is advisable **not** to apply for a liquor license if this is not in place. **[Liquor License Price and Step by Step Liquor License Application Procedure Guide](https://liquorlicense.co.za/liquor-license-application-help-and-support-2/)** ![Apply for LAA](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Apply-for-LAA.png) How useful was this post?

(ii) If you only have the official receipt – please check for the expiring date which is printed on the receipt and work 6 months back to determine the date of submission of your renewal application. #### Documents Required for Liquor License Renewals Kwa-Zulu Natal, KZN. 1. **Tax Clearance Certificate,** 2. **Business License,** 3. **Fingerprint Clearance,** 4. **A Completed Liquor License [Renewal Application FORM – KZNLA 19](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/KZNLA19-APPLICATION-FOR-RENEWAL-OF-LICENCE.doc), (Available from KZNLA Head office and at all District offices OR by visiting [kznlqa.co.za](//www.kznlqa.co.za) )** 5. **A certified copy of the current liquor license.** 6. **Proof of Payment of Renewal Fees (Payment should only be done once the Liquor Authority issues you with a reference number).** **1. Tax Clearance Certificate** Valid tax clearance certificate – validity up to July 2017 – of the license holder must be supplied. SARS unfortunately does not issue a renewal tax certificate prior to the expiring of the current tax certificate. In such a case, you can supply proof on official SARS documentation that you have applied for the renewal. In cases where there are problems with SARS and there are no tax clearances, you will not be able to use letters from accountants anymore. You must supply official SARS documents as proof that you are dealing with your tax issues. **2. Business License:** As the transition period between the 1989 liquor act and the 2010 Act comes to an end on the 28th of February 2017 and you are submitting a renewal application in 2016 for the trading year of 2017, you must include your business license issued by the local municipality in the renewal application. If you do not have the business license in hand you must submit a copy of the official receipt issued by the municipality and a copy of the business license application with the municipality date stamp on as proof that you have applied for the business license. Premises that are located in dysfunctional municipalities where the municipality are not able to facilitate the issue of a business license must obtain a letter from the municipality clearly stating that the process of business licensing cannot be facilitated. **3. Fingerprint Clearance:** The act requires that you submit a SAPS Issued Name Clearance Certificate valid for a period of 3 months from date of issue by the SAPS for each director, member, trustee, partner or holder if a sole proprietor when you submit a renewal application. **Electronic Scanning:** The department has agreed that you may make use of the official government appointed agent – Afiswitch – which was appointed by parliament in terms of a directive published in Government Gazette number 29319 as published on the 27th of October 2006. Eventually the process will be streamlined to the extent that you will only be required to complete an indemnity for every year for a reprint for your renewal. **Fingerprints at the SAPS Station:** If you however prefer your finger prints done at your local police station you must make sure that you apply for a Name Clearance Certificate and pay the necessary fees. SAPS will complete an[ **SAP 91(a)**](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Police-Clearance-Fingerprint-Form-SAPS91.pdf) form and will take your fingerprints.

But is it using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Will it penalise responsible drinkers while not materially reducing misuse? Let’s look first at the provisions of the proposed amendment to the Liquor Act, 59 of 2003 (“the Act”). ### **The letter of the law** *Review of the national minimum legal drinking age from 18 to 21 years:* There are a number of significant crack-downs in the bill, but probably the most controversial is the proposal to raise the legal drinking age from 18 to 21. This could have serious implications for university students who take on restaurant and bar work to help pay their fees, if they are not allowed to handle alcohol at all. Is it reasonable to withdraw a privilege from individuals who already enjoy it, especially if they are legally old enough to vote and to marry? When the US introduced a national drinking age of 21 in 1984 (it was previously the prerogative of the states to determine drinking age, which varied widely across all 50), the transition was gradual (and fairer), i.e. ‘those born after a certain date could not be served’, so that those who had already reached the age of 18 did not have a legal right withdrawn. If this amendment goes through, South Africa would join a very exclusive club: only four developed countries in the world have a nationwide drinking age of over 18 – USA (21), South Korea (19), Iceland (20) and Japan (20). #### *The 500m rule:* New premises wishing to secure a liquor licence must be located at least 500 metres away from schools, places of worship, recreation facilities, rehabilitation or retreat centres, residential areas and public institutions. Existing licence-holders already within a 500m radius of these venues will see stricter conditions for sales imposed on them. #### *Liquor licences will no longer be issued to petrol stations:* This includes premises attached to petrol service stations or premises near public transport. The rationale behind this is valid, when one looks at our road traffic accident (RTA) record and the proportion of accidents involving alcohol. But will ‘public transport’ include airports? ACSA revenue would be hard hit if so. Foreigners travelling to and from South Africa on business are likely to be unimpressed with the inability to have a responsible drink in the lounge before a flight. And what about sales of duty-free alcohol, where the liquor will only be consumed once it has left the country? #### *Restrictions on advertising and marketing of liquor products:* Television channels will only be allowed to advertise alcohol at night, from 22:00-06:00, after the 10pm ‘watershed’ when it is assumed children are in bed. Content designed to appeal to youth in alcohol advertising will be prohibited. This will include the use of sport stars, models, etc. Branding of delivery trucks carrying alcohol and premises will be banned. #### *Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE):* B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice as they relate to licensing conditions will be more strictly enforced and monitored. Noncompliance will result in the suspension or revocation of the licence. #### *Application for liquor licences:* The administrative burden and cost of liquor licence applications will be shifted from the Liquor Authority, municipalities and the police to applicants. Therefore, whereas under current policy the public participation process is conducted by these entities, in future the applicant will carry the responsibility for contacting the municipality, neighbours, community-based organisations etc., and for the cost of advertisements in the newspapers. Police clearance certificates will be required for shareholders and directors of applicants. This provision will be invisible to the public at large but may have serious financial consequences for potential licensees. #### And that’s not all… These are the major provisions of the Act, but this is by no means an exhaustive list. Other proposed changes include: - *Management of licensed premises and training of managers:* Managers of licensed premises will be required to undergo training and pass a test on compliance with the Act. The licence-holder or manager must be on the premises whenever the venue is open for business. - *Limit on licences in a district based on alcohol-related harms*:Where incidence of alcohol-related harm is high, there will be a quota on the number of licences granted in that district. - *Renewal fees based on volume:* Annual renewals will be linked to the volume of alcohol sold. - *Phasing out of grocers’ wine licences*: If there is an off-consumption liquor outlet within 50 metres of a grocer’s store, the grocer’s licence will be phased out. This begs the question as to what will happen to major national outlets such as Spar and Checkers that have wine sections in-store as well as a dedicated liquor store nearby. - *Reduced trading hours:* Trading hours will be reduced for on- and off-consumption outlets. - *Increased excise and minimum unit pricing:* Government will be lobbied to increase the price of alcohol through increased excise tax and/or the introduction of minimum unit pricing. - *Penalties for suppliers who sell alcohol to visibly intoxicated drinkers:* Suppliers will have to show why they should not bear the costs arising out of the offence committed by an intoxicated drinker they served, if they were aware of the level of intoxication. This could be contentious as there are drinkers, especially [‘functional alcoholics](//www.addiction-intervention.com/addiction/alcoholism/how-to-recognize-a-high-functioning-alcoholic/)‘, who can appear completely sober whilst having a sky-high blood alcohol level. ### **The spirit of the law** Some of these amendments may find widespread favour; few people will dispute the importance of enforcing the B-BEEE codes more stringently across all sectors. Ensuring a trained, responsible owner or manager is on site at a licensed premise at all times is uncontroversial. Other aspects of the Act appear more draconian and have given rise to considerable unrest within the industry. So let’s look at the intention behind these changes. #### *Alcohol, health and social cost:* South Africa has a checkered relationship with alcohol. Our wine producers are becoming important players in the global wine industry, and we are starting to produce some excellent craft beers and artisan gins for a discerning customer base. Yet alcohol is also the most widely abused substance in South Africa and the most harmful drug at a population level. It is the third most signficant contributor to death and disability after sexually transmitted infections (including HIV) and interpersonal violence, both of which in turn are influenced by alcohol consumption. In 2007, 46% of cases of mortality due to non-natural causes had blood alcohol levels greater than or equal to 0.05g/100ml, the legal limit for driving. In addition to the personal traumas and tragedies caused by excessive alcohol consumption, alcohol costs the public purse dearly, approximately R37.9 billion annually, including the cost of health care, crime and social welfare, alcohol treatment and prevention, and road traffic accidents. Roughly a quarter to a third of all hospital admissions can be directly or indirectly attributed to alcohol. Conditions associated with alcohol abuse include cirrhosis of the liver; cancers of the tongue, mouth, throat, larynx, oesophagus and liver; central nervous system impairments; nutritional disorders; cardiovascular abnormalities; depression and increased susceptibility to diseases such as pneumonia. Maternal alcohol consumption can cause miscarriage, low birth weight or foetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), the last of which is particularly problematic in the Western Cape. According to the Foundation for Alcohol-Related Research ([FARR](//www.farrsa.org.za)), incidence of FAS varies widely across the country and certain communities experience exceptionally high rates, so it is not meaningful to give a national prevalence rate for South Africa. However, it has been estimated that more than two million South Africans are affected by FAS and a further five million may have the lesser characteristics of foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). ### *Alcohol consumption and young people* Concerns about increased alcohol consumption amongst youth feature prominently in the Act, with the proposed national drinking age of 21. Abuse of alcohol at a young age increases the risk of chronic addiction as an adult and other alcohol-related problems in later life. Research suggests that exposing the adolescent brain to alcohol may impair neurological development, leading to irresponsible decision-making, memory lapses, or slowed response time (potentially lethal when combined with driving a car). So the Act attempts to delay as much as possible the initiation of liquor consumption by youth. Whether it will succeed is a different matter. Young people already drink before the current legal age of 18. As important in curbing abuse is the availability of other forms of recreation and a sense of purpose and ambition amongst youth, as alcohol and other substance abuse often accompanies a sense of hopelessness and aimlessness. However, studies on the effects of the legal age of purchase have generally found that when alcohol is less available, less convenient to purchase, or less accessible, consumption and related problems are lower. ### Make new laws or make the old ones work? There is no doubt that the Act has been developed with the best of intentions. Something must be done to curb the scourge of alcohol abuse that is ravaging our country while maintaining a safe environment for the majority of citizens who buy, sell and enjoy alcohol responsibly. Research reveals mixed findings on the effectiveness of some of the proposed interventions, such as advertisement regulations. However, as indicated above, policies that directly target the availability of alcohol supply and a raised drinking age limit have been proven to be effective at a limited cost to the state. It is also generally agreed that on-premise interventions (that penalise servers) are inadequate unless coupled with interventions that go beyond off-site consumers. So…the question is: are the potential benefits of the restrictions justifiable in light of their negative commercial impact? Inevitably commerce, tourism and agriculture are industries that will be affected and responsible drinkers will face certain curtailments that were never aimed at them in the first place. Initial feedback suggests that many lower income communities welcome the restrictions and the increased age limit for purchasing alcohol, as residents of these communities know only too well the impact alcohol is having on the youth and on their neighbourhoods in general. Our final concern, as always with legislative amendments, is that an amendment act often completely fails to address issues with the current legislation in force, i.e. non-compliance with existing laws. There are roughly 150 000 shebeens in the country, with one fifth of them in Gauteng; it is estimated that two out of three shebeens in that province are illegal. Before we introduce tougher new legislation, we need to be sure we can enforce it. ### Are you affected?

This falls under the MEC for Finance And Economic Affairs and it provides for a number of role players in its administration: - The Liquor Board; - The administrative staff, including a secretary of “The Board; - The Designated Police Officer –**“DPO”**; - The Magistrate; and Inspectors. ![Liquor License Limpopo](https://liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Liquor-License-Limpopo.avif)Liquor License Limpopo**THE LIQUOR BOARD** The Liquor Board consists of five members and three members is a quorum. It has a Chairperson and a deputy chairperson, a member nominated by the provincial commissioner of police and two further members. The Liquor Board and/or its chairperson, considers and decides all applications that can be made in terms of the Act. A majority vote constitutes the decision of The Board and all meetings of The Board are suppose to be open to the public, though this is no longer practised by The Board who sits in small conference rooms and call the interested parties in a specific matter in and does not allow other persons to attend the meeting. All decisions of The Board are taken **“in camera”,** meaning that only the board members and the secretary may be present and nobody else. Some matters can be decided by the chairperson or deputy chairperson and certain powers can be delegated. The Liquor Board is a quasi judicial body and should follow a process akin to that in a court of law but it is the prerogative of the chairperson to determine the process. **The Board considers and decides the following matters:** - Applications for new licences; - Applications for the transfer of licences; - Applications for the removal of licences; - Applications for the acquisition of a financial interest in a liquor licensed business; The chairperson can consider and decide applications for exemption, structural alterations, appointment of an interested party to be in control of the licensed business if the licensee has died or absconded, etc. Once a decision has been taken, the decision-maker is **“functus officio”**, meaning he or it cannot change its mind and take a replacing decision. The only way of turning such a decision around is to ask the High Court to review the same, as will be discussed later. Almost all applications must be done in a prescribed manner on prescribed forms and decisions usually are issued in a prescribed manner and on a prescribed form. A licence comes into being by it being issued. It is given a reference number and a “licence” consists of this first document, a so called Form 4, and all further documents issued in respect thereof. It simply means that your licence file grows every year and all of it must be on the licensed premises. The Liquor Board is **“a creature of statute”** and cannot expect of an applicant more than is prescribed or do more than it is empowered to do by virtue of its empowering legislation. It is obliged to do what its empowering legislation empowers it to do and if it does not, you can approach the High Court to make it do its work. Anybody may appear before The Board in person or as representative of somebody else but if you are not a lawyer, you must hold a power of attorney. **THE DPO** The provincial commissioner of police must appoint a police officer as Designated Police Officer in respect of each magisterial district in the province. A DPO can be appointed for more than one district. The DPO must file reports in respect of various types of applications, he/she must do a yearly inspection of a licensed premises and report to The Board in respect of any contraventions of the Act and when a licensee or its nominated, responsible person, becomes disqualified from holding a licence. The DPO is a functionary of The Board and if the DPO does not **“report”** it is for The Board to deal with it, not the applicant. **THE MAGISTRATE** Licences are grouped by magisterial district and almost all applications are initiated by lodgement of the application with **“The Magistrate”**, which is the magistrate of the relevant district. You cannot lodge an application at the magistrate of a detached office. The magistrate has no decision-making powers. The magistrate receives applications, allows people to inspect it and in certain cases to file objections; He/She must forward copies of applications to the DPO for reporting and ultimately forward everything to The Liquor Board. The only decision–making power The Magistrate has is to grant special and occasional licences and The Liquor Board and its members have no competency in this respect. **INSPECTORS** The Board can appoint inspectors who will then almost do what the DPO does but their powers are more limited than those of the DPO. They usually report on premises which are already licensed and in respect of the completion of premises for purposes of the issuing of licences. > Evridiki Towers > 20 Hans van Rensburg Street > Polokwane > 0700 > Private Bag X 9484 > Polokwane > 0700 > Tel: +27 (15) 293 8300 How useful was this post?

The machinery of the act is a Liquor Board, the administrative staff and an inspectorate. All applications are considered and decided by the Board, though in practice the administrative staff assumes powers of decision-making in respect of applications which it does not have and are in conflict with the reported cases of the High Court, such as that an application is not compliant and/or that additional information and documentation must be provided even though it is not prescribed in the legislation, such as identity documents, etc. Liquor License Eastern Cape. ![Liquor License Eastern Cape](https://liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Liquor-License-Eastern-Cape.avif)Liquor License Eastern CapeThere is no specific date on which an application must be lodged and there is no duty to advertise except for notifying the ward committee member of the ward of the local authority in which the premises will be, of the intention to apply. The advertising is handled by the Board and its administration. # [Eastern Cape Liquor Board](//www.eclb.co.za/) > 69 Devereux > Avenue > Vincent > East London > Tel: + 27 (43) 700 0900 The legislation also creates an internal appeal process which one must first exhaust before you can approach a court of law in respect of a decision of the Board. The Act does not have various types of licences, only on-consumption, off-consumption or on- and off-consumption. Furthermore all grocer’s wine licences have been phased out and it is no longer possible to sell wine in a supermarket. *The requirements for applying are briefly as follows:* **EASTERN CAPE;** *REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW APPLICATION* **Application for registration** **2.(1)** Application for registration must be lodged with the board. **(1)** The applicant must make a written application for registration substantially in the form of Form 1 of Annexure 2, and must- **(a)** furnish in the said application such information as solicited in the form; **(b)** declare under oath or truly affirm at the end of the said form that the information contained therein, is true. **(2)** Every such application must, at the time it is lodged with the board, be accompanied by- b a plan of the premises, clearly showing- **(i)** the dimensions of each room; **(ii)** all doors, windows and counters **(where applicable)** and means of internal and external communication; and **(iii)** the streets and places to which such means of external communication lead; **(b)** a description of the premises with reference to the construction, layout, furnishing, fixtures, fittings and floor covering, which description must be contained in a separate document or, if the business is already in operation, colour photos clearly depicting the above; **(c)** comprehensive written representations in support of the application; **(d)** proof of service of a notice to the ward committee of the area where the premises are situated; **(e)** proof of service of notice to a governing body of an educational institution or place of worship within a radius of 100 metres from the premises in respect of which the application is made; and **(f)** such documents as Form 1 may require to be attached to the application. *Notice by applicant to ward committees, governing bodies and educational institutions and places of worship* **3.(1)** An applicant must within seven days of lodgement, serve a notice substantially in the form of Form 2 of Annexure 2 on the ward committee of the area where the premises are situated, every governing body of every educational institution and place of worship within a radius of 100 metres from the premises in respect of which the application for registration is made. **(3)** A ward committee contemplated in sub-regulation (1) must, within thirty days of receipt of the notice, submit a report on the consultation with the community to the board and to the relevant municipal council. All applications must be lodged in East Londen at the offices of the Board and the administration administers the process from there. At this point in time the application fees and renewal fees are still very reasonable though amendments do take place by regulation from time to time. The renewal process is still a fairly simple administrative process which must take place before end of December of a year with two months of grace and penalty also provided for, as was the position under the old legislation. All payments must be made into the banking account of the Board and it is advisable to phone to make sure of the payment reference to be used to ensure your payment is traceable within the system. The ECP Act also allows for the transfer of a licence from one name to another and the removal of a licence from one address to another and the sections dealing with this is section 25. **The ECP Act provides for the following offences:** **Part 3 :** Offences and penalties **Offences regarding inspections** **57.(1) No person shall-** **(a)** refuse to grant an inspector access to premises to which the inspector is duly authorised to have access;

**(d)** furnish false or misleading information to an inspector; **(e)** unlawfully prevent the owner of any land or premises, or a person working for that owner, from entering the land or premises in order to comply with a requirement of this Act; **(f)** pretend to be an inspector; **(g)** falsify an authorisation or a warrant, compliance notice or compliance certificate contemplated in this Chapter; **(h)** fail to comply with a compliance notice issued in terms of this Chapter; **(i)** enter any land or premises without a warrant in circumstances requiring a warrant; **(j)** act contrary to a warrant issued in terms of this Chapter; **(k)** without authority enter or inspect land or premises; **(l)** disclose any information relating to the financial or business affairs of any person which was acquired in the exercise of any power or performance of any duty in terms of this Act, except- **(i)** to a person who requires that information in order to exercise a power or perform a duty in terms of this Act; **(ii)** if the disclosure is ordered by a competent court; or **(iii)** if the disclosure is in compliance with the provisions of any law. **Offences regarding trading in liquor** 58.(1) No registered person may enter into or be a party to any agreement, understanding or condition whereby any registered person is directly or indirectly bound at any time- **(a)** to take delivery of liquor, whether together with any other article or not, from or through any registered person whether to the exclusion wholly or partly of any other registered person or not; **(b)** to take delivery of, distribute or keep in stock liquor of a particular registered manufacturer; **(c)** not to take delivery of liquor or through a particular registered person; or **(d)** not to take delivery of, distribute or keep in stock liquor of a particular registered manufacturer. **(1)** No registered retailer may accept delivery of any liquor which has not been ordered by such retailer. **(2)** No registered person may fix, maintain or establish the price at which another registered person must sell any liquor. **(3)** No registered manufacturer, officer or director of any registered manufacturer shall be the owner, proprietor or lessor of any premises covered directly or indirectly by any wholesalers registration. **(4)** No registered manufacturer or wholesaler may, either directly or indirectly, give or lend any money or make any donation in cash or in kind to any retailer for the purposes of equipping, fitting out or maintaining and conducting, either in whole or in part, or the establishment of a business operated under a liquor retail registration, except the usual and customary credit for returning packages or containers in which liquor was packed for the market by the manufacturer. **General offences** 59.(1) No person may- **(a)** sell liquor otherwise than in terms of a registration; **(b)** be violent or drunk and disorderly on premises in respect of which a certificate of registration has been issued; **(c)** if he, she or it is the owner or occupier of registered premises, allow violent or drunk and disorderly behaviour on that premises; **(d)** be drunk and disorderly in or on- **(i)** any road, street, lane, thoroughfare, square, park or market; **(ii)** any shop, warehouse or public parking garage; **(iii)** any form of public transport; or **(iv)** any place of entertainment, café, eating house or racecourse or any other premises or place to which the public has or is granted access, irrespective of whether access is granted against payment or is restricted to any category of persons or not; **(e)** consume any liquor in any road, street, lane or thoroughfare, or on vacant land adjacent thereto, in an urban area or other area subdivided into erven or plots with streets bounded by such erven or plots; **(f)** introduce, possess or consume any liquor on a sports ground that is not a registered premises, to which the public has or is granted access, irrespective of whether access is granted against payment or is restricted to any category of persons or not, except on any registered premises on the sports ground concerned;

**(b)** the registered person took all reasonable steps to prevent the act or omission; and **(c)** an act or omission, whether lawful or unlawful, of the nature charged on no condition or under no circumstance fell within the scope of the authority or employment of the manager, agent, employee or member concerned, and the fact that the registered person issued instructions whereby an act or omission of that nature is prohibited must not in itself be sufficient proof that he or she took all reasonable steps to prevent the act or omission. Finally it is important to remember always to read the legislation and regulations together and strictly to comply with prescribed forms and particularly directives for completing the forms if contained in the form, usually out the outset or the end thereof.

Drinking no more than four standard drinks on a single occasion reduces the risk of alcohol-related injury resulting from that occasion. Avoid drinking alcohol beverages on an empty stomach. Always eat before drinking alcohol and try to eat while drinking. Take time out! Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water before, during and after drinking alcohol. Pace yourself by skipping a drink and having a non-alcoholic drink between the alcoholic one. **[Liquor License Price and Step by Step Liquor License Application Procedure Guide](https://liquorlicense.co.za/liquor-license-application-help-and-support-2/)** ![trading-hours](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Trading-Hours.jpg)### **If you’ve been drinking, don’t drive.** As alcohol affects your judgement and reaction times, driving is out of the question. The legal blood alcohol limit for driving is less than 0.05g per 100ml of blood – one beer puts you over the limit. ![drinking-and-driving](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Drinking-and-Driving.jpg)### **Don’t supply drink to underage persons.** The South African legal drinking age is 18. Parents and carers should be advised that children under 15 years of age are at the greatest risk of harm from drinking and that for this age group, not drinking alcohol is especially important. ![kids-and-alcohol](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Kids-and-Alcohol.jpg)### **Other things you should know…** ![illegal-substances](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Illegal-Substances.jpg) - For women who are pregnant or **planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding**, not drinking is the safest option. - Avoid drinking with partners who are prone to aggressive behavior. - Avoid lifts from strangers, especially when intoxicated. - Make sure you know who pours your drink. Don’t accept drinks from strangers. ![pregnant-woman](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Pregnant-Woman.jpg)### **Practice good judgement.** Remember that drinking alcohol is a matter of individual judgement and accountability. It is a big part of social life and celebrations around the world. Drinking responsibly means you can enjoy yourself – and stay safe. ![noise-levels](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Noise-Levels.jpg)If you think you have a problem with alcohol, consult a health care practitioner.

All applications are considered and decided by the Board, though in practice the administrative staff assumes powers of decision-making in respect of applications which it does not have and are in conflict with the reported cases of the High Court, such as that an application is not compliant and/or that additional information and documentation must be provided even though it is not prescribed in the legislation, such as identity documents, etc. ![Liquor License Eastern Cape](https://liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Liquor-License-Eastern-Cape.avif)Liquor License Eastern Cape > 69 Devereux > Avenue > Vincent > East London > Tel: + 27 (43) 700 0900 # [Eastern Cape Liquor Board](//www.eclb.co.za/) ## **EASTERN CAPE LIQUOR LEGISLATION** > The Eastern Cape Province – ECP – was the first to introduce its own legislation and it is contained in provincial act 10 of 2003, the regulations thereunder and the amendment to the regulations. The legislation is the closest to the requirement of being simple, cost effective and compliant with the norms and standards for provincial legislation. There is no specific date on which an application must be lodged and there is no duty to advertise except for notifying the ward committee member of the ward of the local authority in which the premises will be, of the intention to apply. The advertising is handled by the Board and its administration. The legislation also creates an internal appeal process which one must first exhaust before you can approach a court of law in respect of a decision of the Board. The Act does not have various types of licences, only on-consumption, off-consumption or on- and off-consumption. Furthermore all grocer’s wine licences have been phased out and it is no longer possible to sell wine in a supermarket. *The requirements for applying are briefly as follows:* **EASTERN CAPE;** *REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW APPLICATION* **Application for registration** **2.(1)** Application for registration must be lodged with the board. **(1)** The applicant must make a written application for registration substantially in the form of Form 1 of Annexure 2, and must- **(a)** furnish in the said application such information as solicited in the form; **(b)** declare under oath or truly affirm at the end of the said form that the information contained therein, is true. **(2)** Every such application must, at the time it is lodged with the board, be accompanied by- b a plan of the premises, clearly showing- **(i)** the dimensions of each room; **(ii)** all doors, windows and counters **(where applicable)** and means of internal and external communication; and **(iii)** the streets and places to which such means of external communication lead; **(b)** a description of the premises with reference to the construction, layout, furnishing, fixtures, fittings and floor covering, which description must be contained in a separate document or, if the business is already in operation, colour photos clearly depicting the above; **(c)** comprehensive written representations in support of the application; **(d)** proof of service of a notice to the ward committee of the area where the premises are situated; **(e)** proof of service of notice to a governing body of an educational institution or place of worship within a radius of 100 metres from the premises in respect of which the application is made; and **(f)** such documents as Form 1 may require to be attached to the application. *Notice by applicant to ward committees, governing bodies and educational institutions and places of worship* **3.(1)** An applicant must within seven days of lodgement, serve a notice substantially in the form of Form 2 of Annexure 2 on the ward committee of the area where the premises are situated, every governing body of every educational institution and place of worship within a radius of 100 metres from the premises in respect of which the application for registration is made. **(3)** A ward committee contemplated in sub-regulation (1) must, within thirty days of receipt of the notice, submit a report on the consultation with the community to the board and to the relevant municipal council. All applications must be lodged in East Londen at the offices of the Board and the administration administers the process from there. At this point in time the application fees and renewal fees are still very reasonable though amendments do take place by regulation from time to time. The renewal process is still a fairly simple administrative process which must take place before end of December of a year with two months of grace and penalty also provided for, as was the position under the old legislation. All payments must be made into the banking account of the Board and it is advisable to phone to make sure of the payment reference to be used to ensure your payment is traceable within the system. The ECP Act also allows for the transfer of a licence from one name to another and the removal of a licence from one address to another and the sections dealing with this is section 25. **The ECP Act provides for the following offences:** **Part 3 :** Offences and penalties **Offences regarding inspections** **57.(1) No person shall-** **(a)** refuse to grant an inspector access to premises to which the inspector is duly authorised to have access; **(b)** obstruct, interfere or hinder an inspection who is exercising a power or performing a duty in terms of this Act; **(c)** refuse to provide an inspector with a document or information that the person is lawfully required to provide in terms of this Act; **(d)** furnish false or misleading information to an inspector; **(e)** unlawfully prevent the owner of any land or premises, or a person working for that owner, from entering the land or premises in order to comply with a requirement of this Act; **(f)** pretend to be an inspector; **(g)** falsify an authorisation or a warrant, compliance notice or compliance certificate contemplated in this Chapter; **(h)** fail to comply with a compliance notice issued in terms of this Chapter; **(i)** enter any land or premises without a warrant in circumstances requiring a warrant; **(j)** act contrary to a warrant issued in terms of this Chapter; **(k)** without authority enter or inspect land or premises; **(l)** disclose any information relating to the financial or business affairs of any person which was acquired in the exercise of any power or performance of any duty in terms of this Act, except- **(i)** to a person who requires that information in order to exercise a power or perform a duty in terms of this Act; **(ii)** if the disclosure is ordered by a competent court; or **(iii)** if the disclosure is in compliance with the provisions of any law. **Offences regarding trading in liquor** 58.(1) No registered person may enter into or be a party to any agreement, understanding or condition whereby any registered person is directly or indirectly bound at any time- **(a)** to take delivery of liquor, whether together with any other article or not, from or through any registered person whether to the exclusion wholly or partly of any other registered person or not; **(b)** to take delivery of, distribute or keep in stock liquor of a particular registered manufacturer; **(c)** not to take delivery of liquor or through a particular registered person; or **(d)** not to take delivery of, distribute or keep in stock liquor of a particular registered manufacturer. **(1)** No registered retailer may accept delivery of any liquor which has not been ordered by such retailer. **(2)** No registered person may fix, maintain or establish the price at which another registered person must sell any liquor. **(3)** No registered manufacturer, officer or director of any registered manufacturer shall be the owner, proprietor or lessor of any premises covered directly or indirectly by any wholesaler’s registration. **(4)** No registered manufacturer or wholesaler may, either directly or indirectly, give or lend any money or make any donation in cash or in kind to any retailer for the purposes of equipping, fitting out or maintaining and conducting, either in whole or in part, or the establishment of a business operated under a liquor retail registration, except the usual and customary credit for returning packages or containers in which liquor was packed for the market by the manufacturer.

A majority vote constitutes the decision of The Board and all meetings of The Board are suppose to be open to the public, though this is no longer practised by The Board who sits in small conference rooms and call the interested parties in a specific matter in and does not allow other persons to attend the meeting. > **The Liquor Act, 27 of 1989** is still applicable in this province. This falls under the MEC for Finance And Economic Affairs and it provides for a number of role players in its administration: - The Liquor Board; - The administrative staff, including a secretary of “The Board; - The Designated Police Officer -“DPO”; - The Magistrate; and - Inspectors. ![Liquor License North West](https://liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Liquor-License-North-West.avif)Liquor License North West**THE LIQUOR BOARD** The Liquor Board consists of five members and three members is a quorum. It has a Chairperson and a deputy chairperson, a member nominated by the provincial commissioner of police and two further members. All decisions of The Board are taken **“in camera”**, meaning that only the board members and the secretary may be present and nobody else. Some matters can be decided by the chairperson or deputy chairperson and certain powers can be delegated. The Liquor Board is a quasi judicial body and should follow a process akin to that in a court of law but it is the prerogative of the chairperson to determine the process. **The Board considers and decides the following matters:** - Applications for new licences; - Applications for the transfer of licences; - Applications for the removal of licences; - Applications for the acquisition of a financial interest in a liquor licensed business; The chairperson can consider and decide applications for exemption, structural alterations, appointment of an interested party to be in control of the licensed business if the licensee has died or absconded, etc. Once a decision has been taken, the decision-maker is **“functus officio”**, meaning he or it cannot change its mind and take a replacing decision. The only way of turning such a decision around is to ask the High Court to review the same, as will be discussed later. Almost all applications must be done in a prescribed manner on prescribed forms and decisions usually are issued in a prescribed manner and on a prescribed form. A licence comes into being by it being issued. It is given a reference number and a “licence” consists of this first document, a so called Form 4, and all further documents issued in respect thereof. It simply means that your licence file grows every year and all of it must be on the licensed premises. The Liquor Board is **“a creature of statute”** and cannot expect of an applicant more than is prescribed or do more than it is empowered to do by virtue of its empowering legislation. It is obliged to do what its empowering legislation empowers it to do and if it does not, you can approach the High Court to make it do its work. Anybody may appear before The Board in person or as representative of somebody else but if you are not a lawyer, you must hold a power of attorney. **THE DPO** The provincial commissioner of police must appoint a police officer as Designated Police Officer in respect of each magisterial district in the province. A DPO can be appointed for more than one district. The DPO must file reports in respect of various types of applications, he/she must do a yearly inspection of a licensed premises and report to The Board in respect of any contraventions of the Act and when a licensee or its nominated, responsible person, becomes disqualified from holding a licence. The DPO is a functionary of The Board and if the DPO does not **“report”** it is for The Board to deal with it, not the applicant. **THE MAGISTRATE** Licences are grouped by magisterial district and almost all applications are initiated by lodgment of the application with **“The Magistrate”**, which is the magistrate of the relevant district. You cannot lodge an application at the magistrate of a detached office. The magistrate has no decision-making powers. The magistrate receives applications, allows people to inspect it and in certain cases to file objections; He/She must forward copies of applications to the DPO for reporting and ultimately forward everything to The Liquor Board. The only decision–making power The Magistrate has is to grant special and occasional licences and The Liquor Board and its members have no competency in this respect. --- **INSPECTORS** The Board can appoint inspectors who will then almost do what the DPO does but their powers are more limited than those of the DPO. They usually report on premises which are already licensed and in respect of the completion of premises for purposes of the issuing of licences. --- # North West Provincial Liquor Board – Liquor License Application Procedure - **Complete [Form 2](//www.gpwonline.co.za/Gazettes/Pages/Liquor-License-Gazette.aspx) and advertise notices in Government Gazette.** - **[Form 1](/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Form1-North-West-Liquor-License-Application-Form.docx) – Complete form 1 – application form in three (3) copies.

In addition to advertising in the government gazette but not more than 7 days before lodgment (usually the Wednesday before the first Friday of the month on which you will lodge) you must also advertise in two newspapers in the area and proof of the advertisement must be attached. The application gets lodged at the regional office of the Respondent being referred to as the local committee offices of which there are six in the province of Gauteng, being: - Tshwane (which is the Pretoria Metropolitan Area); - Johannesburg (which is the Johannesburg Metropolitan Area); - West Rand (which is the West Rand Metropolitan Area); - Ekurhuleni (which is the Ekurhuleni or East Rand Metropolitan Area); - Sedibeng (which was known as the Vanderbijl Park, Vereeniging area); and - The Kungwini Local Committee (which includes the Nokeng and Kungwini Municipalities, previously Cullinan and Bronkhorstspruit areas). The application must be lodged on the first Friday of a month and payment of an application fee must be made and proof thereof must be contained in the application at lodgement. Each local committee has a “local committee” consisting of appointed members who must evaluate the application as lodged and who must then make a recommendation to the Gauteng Provincial Liquor Board. According to the Act all of this must be done within 21 ***(TWENTY ONE)*** days. The Act also provides that anybody who wants to object against an application can do so within 21 ***(TWENTY ONE)*** days from the date of lodgment of an application and an inspector of the Gauteng Provincial Liquor Board also must file a report in respect of the application, within 21 (TWENTY ONE) days from lodgment. The provisions of the Act as briefly quoted in the previous paragraph, is somewhat impossible as the local committee can only consider the application once the period for objections have expired and a report has been filed and I accordingly believe that it should be read as providing that the local committee must consider and recommend in respect of an application within 21 ***(TWENTY ONE)*** days after the expiry of the 21 ***(TWENTY ONE)*** days for objections and/or the report, or, to put it differently, within 42 ***(FORTY TWO)*** days from the date of lodgment. If objections are filed of record against an application, the process at the local committee level can take longer if the local committee decides to have an open hearing to afford the interested parties the opportunity of making oral submissions to the local committee. This may add another two weeks to the process. The local committee must send its recommendation through to the Gauteng Liquor Board and the board must then consider the same and decide the same. This merely means that the papers must be received, prepared to be tabled before the Gauteng Liquor Board and the Gauteng Liquor Board must decide. This certainly cannot take more than a month. If there are objections or if the Gauteng Liquor Board mero moto wants to raise any issues in respect of an application, it may consider it necessary to convene a meeting at which all the parties can make oral submissions. This may add another month to the process.

Drinking no more than four standard drinks on a single occasion reduces the risk of alcohol-related injury resulting from that occasion. Avoid drinking alcohol beverages on an empty stomach. Always eat before drinking alcohol and try to eat while drinking. Take time out! Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water before, during and after drinking alcohol. Pace yourself by skipping a drink and having a non-alcoholic drink between the alcoholic one. **[Liquor License Price and Step by Step Liquor License Application Procedure Guide](https://liquorlicense.co.za/liquor-license-application-help-and-support-2/)** ![trading-hours](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Trading-Hours.jpg)### **If you’ve been drinking, don’t drive.** As alcohol affects your judgement and reaction times, driving is out of the question. The legal blood alcohol limit for driving is less than 0.05g per 100ml of blood – one beer puts you over the limit. ![drinking-and-driving](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Drinking-and-Driving.jpg)### **Don’t supply drink to underage persons.** The South African legal drinking age is 18. Parents and carers should be advised that children under 15 years of age are at the greatest risk of harm from drinking and that for this age group, not drinking alcohol is especially important. ![kids-and-alcohol](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Kids-and-Alcohol.jpg)### **Other things you should know…** ![illegal-substances](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Illegal-Substances.jpg) - For women who are pregnant or **planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding**, not drinking is the safest option. - Avoid drinking with partners who are prone to aggressive behavior. - Avoid lifts from strangers, especially when intoxicated. - Make sure you know who pours your drink. Don’t accept drinks from strangers. ![pregnant-woman](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Pregnant-Woman.jpg)### **Practice good judgement.** Remember that drinking alcohol is a matter of individual judgement and accountability. It is a big part of social life and celebrations around the world. Drinking responsibly means you can enjoy yourself – and stay safe. ![noise-levels](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Noise-Levels.jpg)If you think you have a problem with alcohol, consult a health care practitioner.

This falls under the MEC for Finance And Economic Affairs and it provides for a number of role players in its administration. - The Liquor Board; - The administrative staff, including a secretary of “The Board; - The Designated Police Officer –**“DPO”**; - The Magistrate; and Inspectors. ![Liquor License Limpopo](https://liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Liquor-License-Limpopo.avif)Liquor License Limpopo > Evridiki Towers > > 20 Hans van Rensburg Street > > Polokwane > > 0700 > > Private Bag X 9484 > > Polokwane > > 0700 > > Tel: +27 (15) 293 8300 **THE LIQUOR BOARD** The Liquor Board consists of five members and three members is a quorum. It has a Chairperson and a deputy chairperson, a member nominated by the provincial commissioner of police and two further members. The Liquor Board and/or its chairperson, considers and decides all applications that can be made in terms of the Act. A majority vote constitutes the decision of The Board and all meetings of The Board are suppose to be open to the public, though this is no longer practised by The Board who sits in small conference rooms and call the interested parties in a specific matter in and does not allow other persons to attend the meeting. All decisions of The Board are taken **“in camera”,** meaning that only the board members and the secretary may be present and nobody else. Some matters can be decided by the chairperson or deputy chairperson and certain powers can be delegated. The Liquor Board is a quasi judicial body and should follow a process akin to that in a court of law but it is the prerogative of the chairperson to determine the process. **The Board considers and decides the following matters:** - Applications for new licences; - Applications for the transfer of licences; - Applications for the removal of licences; - Applications for the acquisition of a financial interest in a liquor licensed business; The chairperson can consider and decide applications for exemption, structural alterations, appointment of an interested party to be in control of the licensed business if the licensee has died or absconded, etc. Once a decision has been taken, the decision-maker is **“functus officio”**, meaning he or it cannot change its mind and take a replacing decision. The only way of turning such a decision around is to ask the High Court to review the same, as will be discussed later. Almost all applications must be done in a prescribed manner on prescribed forms and decisions usually are issued in a prescribed manner and on a prescribed form. A licence comes into being by it being issued. It is given a reference number and a “licence” consists of this first document, a so called Form 4, and all further documents issued in respect thereof. It simply means that your licence file grows every year and all of it must be on the licensed premises. The Liquor Board is **“a creature of statute”** and cannot expect of an applicant more than is prescribed or do more than it is empowered to do by virtue of its empowering legislation. It is obliged to do what its empowering legislation empowers it to do and if it does not, you can approach the High Court to make it do its work. Anybody may appear before The Board in person or as representative of somebody else but if you are not a lawyer, you must hold a power of attorney. **THE DPO** The provincial commissioner of police must appoint a police officer as Designated Police Officer in respect of each magisterial district in the province. A DPO can be appointed for more than one district. The DPO must file reports in respect of various types of applications, he/she must do a yearly inspection of a licensed premises and report to The Board in respect of any contraventions of the Act and when a licensee or its nominated, responsible person, becomes disqualified from holding a licence. The DPO is a functionary of The Board and if the DPO does not **“report”** it is for The Board to deal with it, not the applicant. **THE MAGISTRATE** Licences are grouped by magisterial district and almost all applications are initiated by lodgement of the application with **“The Magistrate”**, which is the magistrate of the relevant district. You cannot lodge an application at the magistrate of a detached office. The magistrate has no decision-making powers. The magistrate receives applications, allows people to inspect it and in certain cases to file objections; He/She must forward copies of applications to the DPO for reporting and ultimately forward everything to The Liquor Board. The only decision–making power The Magistrate has is to grant special and occasional licences and The Liquor Board and its members have no competency in this respect. **INSPECTORS** The Board can appoint inspectors who will then almost do what the DPO does but their powers are more limited than those of the DPO. They usually report on premises which are already licensed and in respect of the completion of premises for purposes of the issuing of licences. How useful was this post?

It provides for office use (with or without residential use) and is typified by the growing number of office parks that one sees in South African urban centers today. **Industrial Zoning** is very much part of the business sector however this zoning relates more to factories and other manufacturing and distribution plants. **Industrial 1** – provides zoning for normal factories, warehouses or storage depots. **Industrial 2** – specifically for operations which can involve noxious and/or unpleasant odours and emissions. **Industrial 3** – caters for specific applications such as specialist workshops or mini-factories. **[Liquor License Price and Step by Step Liquor License Application Procedure Guide](https://liquorlicense.co.za/liquor-license-application-help-and-support-2/)** > **Business Rights** The **Land Use Rights** of a property plays an important role in your **Liquor License Application**. A Municipality begins with the planning process of land. This result is the **Zoning** of property, which allows certain uses and prohibits certain uses of such land. This process regulates the subdivision of land, street plans, plans for public facilities and building regulations. This planning process plans for the construction of schools, roads, sewage, water and electricity supply, policing, fire protection, **businesses** and other. > **Zoning** **Zoning of a property** is the regulation put in place to preserve the character of the area and in turn regulate health, safety, welfare, morals, and limit nuisance disturbance to land users. **Zoning** must promote land use to the best interest of the occupants. It acts as a stabilizing factor in neighborhoods and preserves the character of the community. The essential purpose of **Zoning** is to segregate **Residential, Agricultural, Commercial (business), and Industrial areas** from one another. Regulations have been put into place to protect residential areas from encroachment by petrol stations, businesses causing a nuisance, factories, liquor outlets, and other disturbances. Factors taken into consideration are traffic, character of neighborhoods, the fitness of the land involved and influence on property values. The Zoning of a property regulate, among other things the **Nuisance** emanating from the use of a property. That is “An unreasonable, unwarranted or illegal use of property that infringes the rights of other people.” Therefore the quiet enjoyment of a person’s property is invaded by a person, causing the nuisance without that individual actually physically invading your property. A nuisance can affect one’s health, morals, safety, welfare, comfort or convenience. It is therefore important to ensure that the proposed property is correctly **zoned** for the **Application of a Liquor License**. If you apply for a liquor license on i.e. a residential zoned property your application may be refused, resulting in a financial loss. The Municipality also has the right to close down your business if you trade on a premises Zoned for residential. > **Before you apply for a Liquor License** To make sure that the Zoning of the proposed premises does not prohibit the application of a **Liquor License**. You can apply for a Zoning Certificate at your local Municipality. Under the Gauteng Liquor Act, the applicant of a Liquor License in Gauteng for a **Liquor Store, Pub, Tavern, pool club, and Night club** must obtain, in writing, a local authority approval to apply for such a liquor license. This is in addition to any Zoning laws. It is advisable **not** to apply for a liquor license if this is not in place. ![Apply for LAA](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Apply-for-LAA.png)[LAA Application Gauteng](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/LAA-Application-Gauteng.pdf) How useful was this post?

Please remember: Regardless of the system and problems at the KZN Liquor Authority, you are still responsible to adhere to the liquor act and to follow the required processes to renew your license as set out in the act. The new act requires all renewal applications to be submitted 6 months before the expiring date of the license. (i) The expiring date and the renewal submission date can be found on your license certificate. (ii) If you only have the official receipt – please check for the expiring date which is printed on the receipt and work 6 months back to determine the date of submission of your renewal application. All renewal applications for 2018 must be finalized and submitted by the 30th of June 2017 for the year 2018. #### Documents Required for Liquor License Renewals Kwa-Zulu Natal, KZN. 1. **Tax Clearance Certificate,** 2. **Business License,** 3. **Fingerprint Clearance,** 4. **A Completed Liquor License [Renewal Application FORM – KZNLA 19](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/KZNLA19-APPLICATION-FOR-RENEWAL-OF-LICENCE.doc), (Available from KZNLA Head office and at all District offices OR by visiting [kznlqa.co.za](//www.kznlqa.co.za) )** 5. **A certified copy of the current liquor license.** 6. **Proof of Payment of Renewal Fees (Payment should only be done once the Liquor Authority issues you with a reference number).** **1. Tax Clearance Certificate** Valid tax clearance certificate – validity up to July 2017 – of the license holder must be supplied. SARS unfortunately does not issue a renewal tax certificate prior to the expiring of the current tax certificate. In such a case, you can supply proof on official SARS documentation that you have applied for the renewal. In cases where there are problems with SARS and there are no tax clearances, you will not be able to use letters from accountants anymore. You must supply official SARS documents as proof that you are dealing with your tax issues. **2. Business License:** As the transition period between the 1989 liquor act and the 2010 Act comes to an end on the 28th of February 2017 and you are submitting a renewal application in 2016 for the trading year of 2017, you must include your business license issued by the local municipality in the renewal application. If you do not have the business license in hand by May or June 2017 you must submit a copy of the official receipt issued by the municipality and a copy of the business license application with the municipality date stamp on as proof that you have applied for the business license. Premises that are located in dysfunctional municipalities where the municipality are not able to facilitate the issue of a business license must obtain a letter from the municipality clearly stating that the process of business licensing cannot be facilitated. **3. Fingerprint Clearance:** The act requires that you submit a SAPS Issued Name Clearance Certificate valid for a period of 3 months from date of issue by the SAPS for each director, member, trustee, partner or holder if a sole proprietor when you submit a renewal application. **Electronic Scanning:** The department has agreed that you may make use of the official government appointed agent – Afiswitch – which was appointed by parliament in terms of a directive published in Government Gazette number 29319 as published on the 27th of October 2006. Eventually the process will be streamlined to the extent that you will only be required to complete an indemnity for every year for a reprint for your renewal. **Fingerprints at the SAPS Station:** If you however prefer your finger prints done at your local police station you must make sure that you apply for a Name Clearance Certificate and pay the necessary fees. SAPS will complete an[ **SAP 91(a)**](//liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Police-Clearance-Fingerprint-Form-SAPS91.pdf) form and will take your fingerprints. The SAPS station will send these away to the nearest clearance station and obtain the clearances – please make sure that you follow-up on this and that you have the results before of May / June of the current year / for next year / year of renewal. **WHERE DO I SEND MY DOCUMENTS TO:** Once you have all the documents in for the renewal, contact your district office to get an address for hand delivery of your renewal application. **PLEASE CONTACT THE KZNLA CALL CENTRE ON 087 232 2333 I 031 302 0600 TO OBTAIN A PAYMENT REFERENCE NUMBER AND CONFIRM ADDRESS OF SUBMISSION OF YOUR LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION.** UMzinyathi District – 034 299 8500, Amajuba District – 034 328 0310, lLembe District – 032 551 9000, UThukela District – 036 631 0291, Zululand District – 034 989 5102, UThungulu District – 035 780 5660, UMkhanyakude District – 035 573 8800, UGU District – 039 682 7814, UMgungundlovu District – 033 294 9300, Sisonke District – 039 834 0046 **LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWAL FEES:** | TYPE OF LICENSE | RENEWAL FEE | |---|---| | Accommodation | R 2400 ,00 | | Restaurant | R 2400, 00 | | Pub | R 4800, 00 | | Club | R 1200, 00 | | Tavern | R 1000, 00 | | Night Club | R 4800, 00 | | Gaming Premises | R 4800, 00 | | Sports Ground | R 4800, 00 | | Theatre | R 2400, 00 | | Liquor Store | R 4800, 00 | | Grocer’s Wine | R 2400, 00 | | Micro-Manufacturer | R 9700, 00 | BANKING DETAILS: | Bank | ABSA Bank | |---|---| | Account Name | KZN Liquor Authority | | Account Number | 4082120975 | | Branch Number | 632005 | | Account Type | Cheque | ***Reference Number – Insert the Reference Number received from the Liquor Authority Call Centre.*** **PLEASE CONTACT THE KZNLA CALL CENTRE ON 087 232 2333 I 031 302 0600 TO OBTAIN A PAYMENT REFERENCE NUMBER.** NB: Only cash deposits or electronic transfers will be accepted (NO CHEQUES). ##### The license will only be issued upon receipt of all required documents from the license holder. ### PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: - **A KZNLA inspector will conduct an inspection on your premises after receipt of your application to ensure that the license conditions have been met.** - **Penalties for late payment of fees will be an amount equal to the renewal fee per month subject to a maximum penalty of three times the annual fee for every month that payment is late.

These include: > Legislation requires that certain types of businesses be in possession of a valid business or trade license. This can include businesses like bottle stores, clubs, and a tavern etc. > > Because a trade license is not a requirement for every new business, it can be easy to fall on the wrong side of the law even before you start seeing profits. ![Business Trading License](https://liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Business-Trading-License.avif)Business Trading License > **What is a business license?** > A business license allows you to establish a particular business in a specified area. The license also ensures that your business and the business premises meet all of the building regulations, public safety and health requirements. Trading without a valid license is a punishable offense. - Bottle Stores - Clubs - Taverns - Liquor Stores **What is the application process?** Applications need to be completed and submitted to the relevant licensing department. The application needs to include the following: copies of company papers, member’s identity documents, manager’s identity document, as well as the payment of once-off fees. **How is the success of the application determined?** Once you’ve submitted your application, the licensing department sends a report to the other municipal departments involved in the process. The application needs to comply with all relevant laws including: – Health and Safety – Applicable to the requirements for food premises and the transport of food – Noise and air pollution – Applicable to the control and prevention of noise and air pollution – Building Control Unit – Applicable to building control in compliance with the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act, 1977 – Urban Planning Unit – Applicable to land use rights – Public Safety and Emergency Services – Applicable to public safety. **How long is the trade license valid?** A trade license or application is not transferable at change of ownership or from one premises to another. A trade license can be withdrawn or suspended if not complying to endorsements. Once the trading license has been granted, your premises may be inspected from time to time. ## **How to Apply for a Business License** 1. **Know who you are dealing with.** Depending on the location of your business, you will either be dealing with a metropolitan council, a local town municipality or an area district council. Either way, you will be dealing with the licensing office or licensing department in that municipality or council. 2. **Get you facts right.**Before joining any queues, first call your local council to confirm whether or not you need a business or trade license, and where you can obtain the necessary information and application forms. 3. **Check for additional requirements.**Also find out whether or not your business will require any additional permits or certificates. 4. **Know your by-laws.** Business or trade license requirements are governed by the National Business Act and apply throughout the country, whereas permits and certificates are generally issued in terms of local authority by-laws. These by-laws tend to differ from municipality to municipality. 5. **Get proof.**Make sure that the licensing department issues you with proof of application and payment of fees before you leave their offices. **[Liquor License Price and Step by Step Liquor License Application Procedure Guide](https://liquorlicense.co.za/liquor-license-application-help-and-support-2/)** How useful was this post?

Restaurant, Pub, Tavern etc. and Off Consumption Liquor License e.g.. Liquor Store (Liquor sold may not be consumed on the premises.) In addition to this the law provides for a Wholesale and Distribution Liquor License (Liquor may be sold to licensed entities such as Liquor Stores, Pubs etc. on Wholesale or to the public and can be transported in bulk throughout the country) and Manufacturers Liquor License. Wholesale Liquor License holders can only supply to licensed businesses, not to public. Each Province has its own Provincial Liquor Act. The requirements and types of licenses as well as the lodgement procedure and documents required, differ from province to province. **2) Renewal of Liquor Licenses.** All Liquor Licenses must be renewed annually. Should a Liquor License holder fail to renew, the Liquor License will expire after specific time. Should a Liquor License expire, a new Liquor License application must be lodged. The renewal process also differs from province to province. **3) Lodgement of Liquor License Applications.** Liquor Licenses can only be lodged on the first Friday of every month. Notice in the Government Gazette has to be done approximately two weeks prior to lodgement date (roughly in the middle of the month). Should either the notification date or advertisement date in the newspapers be missed, the application cannot be lodged and will have to stand over until the next month. The whole process of the application will have to be redone for the next month. We will advise the applicant which documentation and information is required for the submission of his Liquor License Application. Note that we cannot lodge an application that is incomplete.

The Board must appoint a Chief Executive Officer as the head of the administration and it can delegate almost all its powers to either the CEO, the chairperson of the Board or committees established in terms of the legislation. > **Since 1 September 2014** liquor licensing in Mpumalanga is governed by **Act 5 of 2006** and the regulations thereunder. The legislation differs greatly from other provincial legislation on the subject and can be described as the most progressive of all. ![Liquor License Mpumalanga](https://liquorlicense.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Liquor-License-Mpumalanga.avif)Liquor License Mpumalanga## *SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURE OF MPUMALANGA LIQUOR ACT* The legislation also provides for an internal appeal process in terms whereof one can appeal to the MEC, which simply means that one cannot “test” a decision of the Board in court before it was brought before and decided by the MEC on appeal or review. The act provides for the transfer of licences from one name to another, but not for the removal of a licence from one address to another. In the latter case one will have to bring a new **“replacing”** application to “relocate” licensed premises to a new address. Liquor License Application Mpumalanga – MP.
