The Imbizo is part of mobilizing communities against crime and to strengthen existing partnerships between government and the community.
The Imbizo is organized by the Department in conjunction with the local police, Community Policing Forum (CPF) and other community structures. The department will also provide the citizens with an opportunity to make inputs on safety and security matters.
The indaba follows an analysis that most liquor outlets do not comply with the conditions stipulated in their licenses and this has an impact on most contact crimes.
The indaba will be attended by among others; taverns and shebeens owners, Provincial Liquor Board, SAPS and other government departments.
The theme for the Indaba is "Responsible Liquor Trading Creates Responsible Drinking".
Members of the media are invited to these events.
