Best regards Teun Baartman (Chairperson Woodstock CPF) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lisa Poole <lisa.po...@capetown.gov.za> Date: 11 May 2011 14:22 Subject: P/P: W57: MEDIA RELEASE: Vice Squad and Liquor Enforcement Unit issue fines amounting to R26 000 To: William Mxolose <william.mxol...@capetown.gov.za> Sent to you on behalf of Subcouncil 15 CITY OF CAPE TOWN MEDIA RELEASE 09 MAY 2011 Vice Squad and Liquor Enforcement Unit issue fines amounting to R26 000 The City's Liquor Enforcement Unit and Vice Squad held operations on both Friday and Saturday evenings into the early hours of the morning and issued fines that collectively amount to approximately R26 000. On Friday evening, the Liquor Enforcement Unit held a joint operation with the South African Police Services (SAPS) in the Woodstock central business district (CBD). Officers inspected six night clubs and issued spot fines amounting to approximately R6 000. Fines were issued for contraventions such as operating without the necessary City authorisation, non-compliance with the Community Safety Bylaw (for example obstruction of fire escapes routes), and contravention of the Noise Control Regulations. According to Assistant Chief Nathan Ladegourdie, Spokesperson for Specialised Law Enforcement Services, some of the inspections they carried out in Woodstock were as a result of complaints received by members of the community, especially those pertaining to the noise complaints. "We will continue to hold these types of operations City-wide, as night clubs change ownership and are not always compliant with keeping within the regulations," said Ladegourdie. The Vice Squad conducted operations in the Kenilworth, Wynberg and Wetton areas on Friday evening, and in Green Point and Sea Point on Saturday. During these operations the officers issued fines amounting to R20 000. The officers gave warnings or issued spot fines to a total of 27 prostitutes, and arrested one prostitute for an outstanding warrant from the Wynberg Magistrates Court. All the prostitutes fined or given warnings during the operations held in the Green Point and Sea Point areas originated from Senator Park.
