Extension of Trading Hours

Western Cape By-Laws
As per By laws, the days and hours during which licensed businesses may sell liquor in the Western Cape is currently regulated at municipal level, through by-laws. This is in accordance with section 59(1) of the Act, which provides that: “A municipality may by by-law determine different trading days and hours for licensed businesses selling liquor for consumption on the licensed premises and for those selling liquor for consumption off the licensed premises.”
Each of the 24 local municipalities and one metropolitan municipality in the Western Cape, has passed its own by-law accordingly.
