Sale of Alcohol on Sunday?

Post by Toko »

I have read that there would be some new provincial liquor bills in South Africa and would like to know what the actual status quo is. Which provinces have a ban on Sunday alcohol sales now?

As far as I am aware, all of them and .gov wants to reduce the trading hours even more.

If you speak to locals in almost any town, they will have a spot where you can buy alcohol on a Sunday. But, this would only be for emergency as the prices are a lot higher. If you travel into the townships you will find many off sales that are open, it seems that the countries law does not count in these areas, but I wouldn't risk going in there for a few beers.


Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

Gauteng has bottle stores open on Sundays, think it is only Western Cape that has a law of no alcohol sales from bottle stores etc on Sundays. The rest it is up to individual owners on if they want to be open.
