The Minister of Trade and Industry has published the Liquor policy review: a discussion document for public consultation. "This document outlines the policy proposals intended to amend the Liquor Act, 59 of 2003 ("the Act") ... The 1997 policy consideration was centred around restructuring the liquor industry and giving priority to facilitation of entry and empowerment of new entrants and to better reflect on all social and economic costs associated with liquor abuse. The said policy considerations remain a critical challenge today and to a great extent remain the focus for this review."
