KwaNoxolo tavern in Bekkersdal, Gauteng, where a mass shooting occurred in the early hours of Sunday, had allegedly been operating with a fraudulent liquor licence.
Gauteng deputy police commissioner Maj-Gen Fred Kekana said police received a report from the Gauteng Liquor Board that the liquor licence the tavern in Bekkersdal had been using to operate was fraudulently obtained.
The liquor licence looked legitimate when we checked on Sunday. We, however, had to thoroughly check, and thats why we involved the liquor board, and they told us it was fraudulently obtained, he said.
