Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security in the City of Cape Town, JP Smith, says law enforcement agencies will focus on enforcing compliance of alcohol laws over the festive season.
He was speaking in Philippi during the launch of a safer festive season campaign.
"For us road enforcement is a primary
component of what we are required to do.
Smith said the City valued the close working relationship with the police.
"On a daily basis our staff are carrying out integrated and coordinated operations with SAPS."
"We are working with them whether it is in the leap areas, liquor enforced operations, on festive-season planning or protest actions."
"As we saw in the beginning of lockdown, if we take alcohol out of the equation, society transforms."
"We have increased focus on alcohol on the roads as liquor plays a major role in unnecessary fatalities," he said.
