WOES WITH THE EASTERN CAPE LIQUOR BOARD
After sharing pictures of underage children at the establishment, some enjoying booze, the tavern hogged headlines for the wrong reasons.
The viral pictures almost got the tavern’s operating license revoked. However, Emalaydini Tavern co-owner Masinga Mungane apologized for the incident and made it known that the children were outside the premises.
“Somehow, they do access alcohol, as seen in the pictures, but I suspect maybe they get it from adults who can legally buy.”
