The
KwaZulu Natal Liquor Authority under the Department of Economic Development and
Tourism recently held its Conversion Campaign at Greytown under UMzinyathi
District Municipality. The purpose of the campaign was to formally introduce
the new KZN Liquor Act and instill awareness to the community on the dangers of
over consuming alcohol. The community was informed that they will now play a
significant role in terms of granting liquor licenses since District Committees
will be established. The committees will consist of community members within
the district, whose role would be to advise and recommend the granting of
liquor licenses.
