Following the Enyobeni Tavern inquest, the National Liquor Traders says it is calling for urgent, coordinated action to prevent similar tragedies in the future. The organisation argues that preventing harm requires stronger accountability and clearer collaboration between government departments, regulators and the liquor industry. It emphasises the need for improved oversight and shared responsibility across the supply chain and regulatory environment, following findings linked to the Enyobeni Tavern incident. The group’s call focuses on learning from the inquest process and putting safeguards in place to reduce risks associated with tavern operations. It also signals that ongoing engagement between regulators and industry stakeholders should be strengthened to ensure that standards are understood, monitored and enforced consistently. Overall, the National Liquor Traders is urging stakeholders to move from investigation to prevention, advocating for measures that address compliance and oversight shortcomings identified through the inquest.
