Bars and nightclubs continue to defy covid-19 regulations imposed by government that stipulate bars and nightclubs remain closed.
Recently, Government threatened to revoke liquor licences for beerhalls, bars and nightclubs found operating in direct violation of the COVID-19 lockdown regulations.
The current COVID-19 regulations stipulate that bars, nightclubs and beer halls may sell beer, but not allow sit-ins.
Nevertheless, many operators have been allowing sit-ins prompting police to issue a statement saying the Liquor Licensing Board would take immediate action against operators found wanting.
