The Eastern Cape Education Department has warned school governing bodies (SGBs) and principals about selling alcohol on school premises after it emerged that some have
licences permitting the sale of liquor on school premises. The department says it has received a number of applications from schools requesting the department’s support in
acquiring liquor licences that would allow them to sell alcohol on school premises.
The department has ordered that all schools holding permanent liquor licences not to
renew them and/or seek immediate cancellation given that no consent was provided in terms of the SA Schools Act.
