When a Liquor Licence has been granted by the Regional Liquor Board, one of the most important things that a holder of a licence can do is to nominate or appoint someone who will be responsible for the actual sale and oversight of the liquor on the premises.
The reason for this is that the Regional Liquor Board and the South African Police Services must be satisfied that they have granted a liquor licence to someone who they can trust to operate within the ambit of the law. The nominated person or persons must be on the premises at all times during operating hours to ensure they meet the criteria of the Liquor Licence.
It is advised that a Nomination or Appointment Application is made as soon after the granted licence is received to avoid any problems with the SAPS and the operation of the business.
