Western Cape premier Alan Winde says the province plans to change its deadly relationship with alcohol by amending the liquor act.
Winde was delivering his state of the province address on Wednesday.
He said provincial data showed a causal relationship between alcohol abuse in communities and violence.
“That is why we are instead pursuing more targeted interventions by amending the Western Cape Liquor Act. These amendments will, directly and indirectly, reduce alcohol harms, as well as improve the efficiency of the Western Cape Liquor Authority,” said Winde.

The details make for lurid and at times disturbing reading. Many involve violence, or the threats of violence, such as people bringing knives into the library, or fighting, racism or other kinds of reckless behaviour at Waterworld. At the more sinister end of the scale is an alleged indecent assault of a child at the St Andrews Library on January 9, 2018. Details of that incident remain sketchy, however it is known that library staff were approached by a woman who said her daughter had been inappropriately touched. The staff discussed the situation with the mother and with a man who was at the library at the time.
