South African Liquor Trading Association in KwaThema is back in action
“We are calling the justice system to tighten their grip on liquor traders who do not follow the law.”
KwaThema – South African Liquor Trading Association in KwaThema has been relaunched after five years of not being operational.
The association, which is aimed at improving trading conditions for the liquor traders, held their first meeting on Tuesday.
Chairperson of the South African Liquor Trading Association in the area Aby Mabena says they decided to revive the association because many traders in the area were struggling to register their businesses.
“Through the years the local liquor trading were forced to become members of other associations in Kwatsaduza.
“The liquor board will not give trading licences if the applicant does not belong to a trading association in the area they are operating in.
