Thanks Carolyn, if possible when you see it open again please take a
photograph. But only if you can, don't put yourself at risk. Const. Berry has
informed the shift captain. And as far as I know he has also informed the
shift staff. They (Mezani) are probably going to make it as difficult as
possible so we need to record all instances of them defying the law. Please
keep reporting.

Hats off to constable Mark Berry, our redoubtable sector commander, for his
massive contribution to the closure of the drug club Mezani Lounge.
We have received the good news from the Liquor Authority today that the
Liquor Licencing Tribunal has temporarily suspended Mezani's liquor licence in
terms of Section 71 of the Liquor Act, pending a further hearing in terms of
Section 20 into the fitness of the liquor licence holder to trade in liquor.
The date for the Section 20 hearing has not been established yet. It is
expected that Daniel Lossy, the liquor licence holder, will be declared unfit
to hold a licence after that hearing, unless his lawyers pressurise the
Tribunal into disregarding the interests of the community.
If Mezani trades at any time over the next few months, it will be in
defiance of the Liquor Tribunal's ruling. If anyone sees them open, please take
a picture with your cell phone so that it can be submitted to the LA, who will
use it as further evidence in the upcoming Section 20 hearing.
Mark, together with const. Chadwick Adams, has done months of grueling
police work to build a case before the Liquor Tribunal that Mezani was in the
grips of a destructive drug trade. The work involved confronting dangerous and
aggressive criminals, conducting numerous drug raids and reacting to some
hectic complaints, including a horrible rape at the premises, and continuously
suffering vile abuse from the defiant management and drug dealers at Mezani --
most of this while we were sleeping. The work also involved hours of paperwork
to convince the Liquor Authority that Mezani was a problem.
Thank you Const Berry and Adams!
