Police at Middelburg in the Eastern Cape have confiscated and destroyed 1 655 litres of home-brewed liquor.
Warrant Officer Louis Stone says the concoction was seized earlier on Friday during a raid by members on five illegal shebeens operating in the area.
He says a number of containers used to brew the concoctions were also seized.
Warrant Officer Stone warned that the non-compliance of Taverns with the Liquor Act, specifically operating hours and selling of liquor to under age children and drunk patrons, will continue to be scrutinised and prioritised during police operations.
