A tavern owned by various owners and that has existed for more than five years, has closed its doors after almost a year\u2019s fighting.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Complaints submitted to the Amsterdam Police Station by various residents included disturbance of the peace like alcohol abuse on the street, loud music and vehicles that destroy the lawns of people in the vicinity, as well as people who threaten and attack each other with weapons. These complaints were thus far simply ignored.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the umpteenth complaint that fell on deaf ears, AfriForum\u2019s Piet Retief branch decided to address residents\u2019 frustrations. The branch collected enough proof to submit to the Liquor Board, and eventually succeeded in getting rid of the tavern and its problems,\u201d says Bronwen Pretorius, AfriForum\u2019s District Coordinator for the Highveld.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
