Nearly 3 000 litres of alcohol were destroyed at the City's Ndabeni Pound this week, offering a snapshot of the scale of public drinking enforcement faced by Cape Town authorities as the festive season gains momentum.
Figures released by the municipality show that, in just the first 11 days of December, enforcement officers confiscated 1 814 units of alcohol.
This amounted to just under 740 litres already deposited at the liquor pound, weeks before peak holiday activity typically begins.
