WATCH: City of Cape Town pours nearly 12 000 litres of alcohol down the drain

accreditation
City of Cape Town law enforcement officers popped open more than 16 000 liquor cans and bottles on Thursday as the City prepares for the upcoming festive season.

However, officers did not sip the alcohol and think of relaxing on the beach over December. Instead, they poured nearly 12 000 litres down the drain to make space at the law enforcement storage depot in Ndabeni.

City of Cape Town law enforcement officers popped open more than 16 000 cans and bottles of liquor on Thursday and poured the nearly 12 000 litres of alcohol down the drain to make space at the law enforcement storage depot in Ndabeni.

This is ahead of the City's operational readiness plan for the festive season, which takes effect annually in late November.

The alcohol had been confiscated from beaches and other public spaces during the previous financial year.
