MEDIA INVITATION

25 June 2026

EASTERN CAPE LIQUOR BOARD INVITES MEDIA TO THE PROVINCIAL UNDERAGE DRINKING AWARENESS RACE

The Eastern Cape Liquor Board (ECLB) cordially invites members of the media to the Provincial Underage Drinking Awareness Race, an annual flagship sporting event that is aimed at promoting sport, raising awareness on the dangers of underage drinking and promoting responsible alcohol consumption across the province.

The race will take place on Sunday, 28 June 2026, with participants gathering at Beacon Bay Crossing, East London, from 07h00.

This year marks the fourth edition of the Race, which has grown into a flagship awareness initiative dedicated to mobilising communities, stakeholders and partners in the fight against underage drinking and alcohol-related harm among young people. The race serves as a strategic platform to mobilise communities, government, civil society and other stakeholders to take a united stand against underage drinking in the Eastern Cape.

To encourage broader participation, the 2026 race introduces a 10km category, complementing the signature 21km race, as well as the 4.1km and 2.1km fun run categories, ensuring that people of all fitness levels can take part in this important cause.

The Eastern Cape continues to face challenges associated with underage drinking, including the growing trend of "pens down" celebrations that often involve excessive consumption of alcohol among learners.

The theme for this year's race is "Alcohol Must Wait, Futures Matter."

Race Details:

Date: Sunday, 28 June 2026
Time: 07h00 – 13h00
Venue: Beacon Bay Crossing, East London

Members of the media are encouraged to attend and help amplify the message that underage drinking has no place in our communities and that safeguarding the future of our youth is a shared responsibility.

Media Release

24 February 2026

Liquor traders are reminded about deadline for the renewal of their liquor licences

Eastern Cape Liquor Board (ECLB) wishes to remind all its licenced liquor traders that they have until the 28th of February 2026 to renew their liquor licences. Failure to meet this deadline will regrettably result in liquor traders having to pay penalties.

Liquor traders are further reminded that if they do not pay renewal fees with the prescribed schedules, their liquor licences will be revoked and will be compelled to stop trading with immediate effect. Continuing with trading with an expired and/or unrenewed liquor licence is a gross violation of trading conditions and those liquor traders will be subjected to serious actions as prescribed by the law.
