Thousands of Gauteng shebeens face closure
JOHANNESBURG – THOUSANDS  of shebeens across Gauteng face closure being  if they don’t verify the details of their trading licences by the end of next month.
Shebeens play an essential role in South Africa’s economy, raking in millions in both the formal and informal economies.
But nearly 10 000 of these establishments  could be forced to close shop if they don’t validate their licences
Media reports say with the  Gauteng Liquor Board says  9 500  businesses, including stores like Woolworths and Pick n Pay, could be forced to stop selling liquor, if they do not validate their licences.
The provincial department of economic development says it’s updating its records.
