	Shebeen protest goes coastal
		Kandenge said that shebeen operators, especially from the Erongo and Karas regions, were fed up with the slow implementation of the Liquor Act due to different functions being shared by municipalities and regional liquor boards.
		He added that Police and the Windhoek municipality in the Khomas Region have been fairly supportive of shebeen operators' plight, something which is not the case in regions such as Erongo, Karas and Hardap.
		In June, hundreds of shebeen operators and their supporters marched to the Parliament building in Windhoek in protest against the Liquor Act, which they said made it impossible for the ordinary man to make a living.

		THE Gauteng liquor licensing office has given shebeen owners a reprieve, extending the deadline to apply for a permit by a month to 28 February 2005.
		The permits are temporary, allowing shebeen owners to sell their wares for 18 months while they ensure they meet the requirements of the Liquor Act - including proper signage, displaying their liquor license in a prominent position and complying with health regulations.
		The deadline for applications for shebeen permits was extended as the new Liquor Act was only implemented in November 2004 and the office has not been able to deal with the demand.

	Wakefield Press - Shebeen Tales
		Throughout southern Africa, shebeens are where jokes are born, news is embellished and exchanged, fights erupt and subside.
		In Shebeen Tales, Zimbabwe’s leading author offers a view of his country not from the privileged and insulated perspective of the foreign correspondent or well-heeled visitor, but that of the ordinary person who, with the help of dry wit and illegal beer, pokes fun at the rich and mighty.
		Struggling against madcap motorists, pompous bureacrats and the other woes of life in the city, the man in the shebeen sees modern Africa as it really is, not as press releases or tourist brochures would have us believe.

	IRIN Africa \| Southern Africa \| Namibia \| NAMIBIA: Crackdown on informal bars sparks protest \| Economy \| Feature
		Shebeens in townships and informal settlements have mushroomed since new and more lenient legislation was passed in 1998 to replace the strict liquor laws of the former apartheid era.
		While shebeens are a lucrative income source for many, others claim they bring noise, pollution, alcohol abuse, crime and domestic violence to communities.
		Complicated requirements like advertising the intention to start a shebeen in newspapers, an application fee and a professionally drawn building plan "were excluding ordinary, poor people from the opportunity to operate shebeens", he insisted.

		Shebeens have mushroomed since 1998 when the liquor act replaced far stricter laws on alcohol consumption.

		There are currently more than 20 000 shebeens in the province and, with informal settlements spreading rapidly, the figure is on the rise.

		He said there was a lack of proper consultation, and shebeen owners desperately wanted to have workshops in their areas to unpack and analyse the bill.

		Shebeens are informal and unlicensed liquor traders who primarily sell liquor to customers in townships.
		Perturbed by the terms of the permit, the applicants approached the High Court for an order declaring the definition of “shebeen” to be inconsistent with the Constitution on the grounds of vagueness and irrationality, as it fails to provide a time period within which the ten cases of beer bottles is to be sold.
		The applicants also sought an order declaring the limits imposed upon the sale of liquor under the shebeen permits to be invalid as they go beyond the scope of the definition.
