‘I don’t hate alcohol’: Bheki Cele urges taverners to teach patrons how to drink nicely

Cele addressed a tavern gender-based violence dialogue in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, on Thursday. The awareness campaign, supported by the National Liquor Traders organisation, was attended by tavern owners, patrons and NGOs.

“Today is about gender-based violence and alcohol. I don’t know why people think I hate alcohol, but when people see Cele they say, ‘Cele hates alcohol.’ No. I don’t hate alcohol but the bad deeds that flow from its consumption. Separate between bad actions and alcohol. I choose not to drink. You can choose it. You choose to drink but your choice to drink does not make you an animal and undermine the people who don’t drink,” said Cele.

“One thing we are calling upon is that there should be proper education on how to use alcohol socially. Maybe those that run taverns should take 30 minutes. Thank them [patrons] that are there and ask them to behave properly and that when they leave, they should not beat their wife and kids and not overindulge. Then let them drink. Talk to them before they get drunk.”Cele urged them to amplify their “lessons”.He told the youth women were not “commodities”.

And ministers find themselves enjoying happy ending.
