The Eastern Cape Liquor Board has sent out a stern warning for people to refrain from selling or consuming deadly homemade brews.
This after President Cyril Ramaphosa reinstated the ban of alcohol on Sunday.
During level 5 of the lockdown where the sale of alcohol was first prohibited, approximately 16 people from the Eastern Cape died in separate incidents after consuming homemade brew.
EC Liquor Board Spokesperson, Mgwebi Msiya has cautioned members of the public to refrain from consuming the liquor mixed with methylated spirits as it may endanger them.
He said they would collaborate with various law enforcement agencies in monitoring compliance with the new regulations, and where transgressions were identified, necessary steps would be taken to curb such behaviour.
Mgwebi also urged community members to report cases of non-compliance with liquor regulations to the nearest police stations.
