While the local beer brewer and the alcohol industry continue to cry foul over legislation to curb binge drinking, one of the largest brewers in the UK on 1 July called for exactly the same laws that Khama introduced in 2008 to curb the problem.
The legislation, which includes a 30 percent levy and reduction of drinking hours, has resulted in the only brewer, Kgalagadi Breweries, complaining that the measures have hurt their business. More restrictive measures suggested by the 'Morals Committee', led by Kgosi Gaborone and the churches, also seek to hike the drinking age from 18 to 21.
