The National Liquor Authority is addressing it’s challenges head on.
On 3
December 2013 the amendments of the National Liquor Amendment Regulations of
Act 59 of 2003 was published.
The
amended regulations bring about changes in the submission, processing of
applications and the requirements for registration for both Distributors
(Wholesalers) and (large) manufacturers of liquor. (This is not aimed at
micro-manufacturers as it falls under the Provincial Liquor Act).
Amendment
of Regulation 4 is of great interest to applicants;
“Whenever
the National Liquor Authority is required to issue a registration certificate,
it must be issued within 90 days.
The
delays in issuing Registration Certificates under the National Liquor Act is
well known, however the National Liquor Authority is determined to address the
delays currently experienced with the issuing of Registration certificates for
new applications.
On 11
February 2015 Adv. Sandile Nkosi, Acting Chief Director of the National Liquor
Authority, invited steak holders and Liquor License Consultants to a
consultative session on the Case Management Solution System. The session was highly appreciated by the Liquor License consultants as their input was
required.
In short
the National Liquor Authority is developing a system whereby the applications
can be done on-line and issued without delay.
The
developing of the system will take some months, but we hope to have a proto
type ready by April 2015.
