Eastern Cape Liquor Board (ECLB) in partnership with South African Police Service (SAPS) conducted ‘Gijima Tsotsi Blitz Operation’ to clamp down on non-compliant liquor outlets in and around Alice on Friday evening. 

As the country moves to Alert Level One of the Risk Adjusted Strategy:

All licensed liquor traders that have paid their license renewal fees for the year 2021

The Eastern Cape Liquor Board (ECLB) strongly condemns the blatant non-adherence to COVID-19 regulations by patrons at a liquor outlet in East London, which was shown in a very disturbing circulating video.

Eastern Cape Liquor Board (ECLB) welcomes the lifting of ban on alcohol sale and its transportation thereof, and extends its word of caution to all liquor traders to adhere to Adjusted Level 3 regulations as pronounced by the President of the Republic.

Eastern Cape Liquor Board in partnership with Nelson Mandela Traffic Department will launch its Festive Season Campaign by mounting roadblocks in Gqeberha.

The campaign is intended to encourage motorists not to drive under the influence of alcohol.

Driving under the influence of alcohol is often cited as one of the main causes of many road accidents in the province.

Eastern Cape Liquor Board seeks to reduce road fatalities by encouraging motorists to be considerate and consume alcohol only at the end of their trips.

The campaign will further seek to urge motorists to observe Covid 19 health protocols by ensuring that passengers wear masks and sanitise regularly.

Media is, therefore, invited to the roadblock, which is scheduled to take place as follows:

Date: 10 December 2021

Venue: N2 Neptune- N2 Baywest, R75 and M19

Time: 10h00 – 15h30
