Ngcobo said, “We have noticed that most of our contact crimes are as a result of the level of drunkenness prevalent in our area and that illegal taverns exacerbate our problem.
“Some of these conditions which illegal liquor traders do not follow is the allowed trading hours and the fact that they not supposed to sell liquor to minors.”
