A strategic focus on the implementation of the National Liquor Act 59 of 2003 in South Africa

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine a strategic focus for the implementation of the National Liquor Act 59 of 2003 in South Africa. There are several shortcomings in the implementation of the Act at national and provincial level. Various models in the field of Human Resource Management can assist in creating an effective strategy to achieve National Liquor Authority (NLA), Provincial Liquor Board (PLB) and South Africa Police Service (SAPS) objectives. The researcher applied purposive and snowball sampling to select 21 participants with extensive knowledge of the implementation of national and provincial liquor acts. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data from police and non-police liquor inspectors involved in the implementation of the Act. National and international literature was studied to collect theoretical information. The data was analysed by means of qualitative data packages. The ATLAS.ti software program was used to categorise data according to themes. The study objectives were to understand the strategic focus behind the implementation of national and provincial liquor acts. Furthermore, the roles of liquor inspectors and the procedure according to which the liquor acts were communicated to ensure performance were examined. International best practices in the enforcement of liquor acts were explored, and a strategic model was proposed to supplement shortcomings in the enforcement of these legislations. The findings indicated a gap between the National Liquor Act 59 of 2003 and agencies’ strategic focus, a lack of capacity, and poor communication of the liquor acts. Moreover, a strategic model is suggested to ensure uniform standards for the implementation of the National Liquor Act 59 of 2003.

Maikemišetšo a nyakišišo ye ke go laetša nepišo ya leano la phethagatšo ya Molao wa Bosetšhaba wa Bjala, 59 wa 2003 ka Afrika Borwa. Go ba gona ga ditlhaelelo tše mmalwa phethagatšong ya molao maemong a bosetšhaba le a profense. Dimmotlolo tša go fapana ka lekaleng la Bolaodi bja Methopo ya Batho e ka thuša tlholong ya leano le le botse go fihlelela maikemišetšo a Bolaodi bja Bosetšhaba bja Bjala (NLA), Boto ya Profense ya Bjala (PLB) le Tirelo ya Sephodisa ya Afrika Borwa (SAPS). Banyakišiši ba šomišitše sampole ya nepo le ye e oketšegilego go kgetha bakgathatema ba 21 ba go ba le tsebo ye e nabilego ya phethagatšo ya melao ya bjala ya bosetšhaba le ya profense. Dipoledišano tša sebopego sa seripa di dirilwe go kgoboketša datha ya go tšwa go bahlahlobi ba sephodisa le bao e sego ba sephodisa ba ba akaretšwago phethagatšong ya molao. Dingwalo tša bosetšhaba le tša boditšhabatšhaba di fetlekilwe go kgoboketša tshedimošo ya teori. Datha e sekasekilwe ka go šomiša dipakhetše tša datha tša khwalithethifi. Lenaneo la softewere ya ATLAS.ti le šomišitšwe go aroganya datha go ya ka ditabataba. Maikemišetšo a nyakišišo e be e le go kwešiša nepišo ya leano la phethagatšo ya melao ya bjala ya bosetšhaba le ya profense. Gape, mešomo ya bahlahlobi ba bjala le tshepedišo yeo go ya ka yona melao ya bjala e tsebagaditšwego go kgonthišiša gore mošomo o hlahlobilwe. Mekgwa ye mekaone ya boditšhabatšhaba tiragatšong ya melao ya bjala e utulotšwe, gomme mmotlolo wa leano o šišintšwe go tlaleletša ditlhaelelo tiragatšong ya melao ye. Dikutullo di laeditše sekgoba gare ga Molao wa Bosetšhaba wa Bjala, 59 wa 2003 le nepišo ya leano ya dietšentshi, tlhokego ya bokgoni, le kgokagano ya go fokola ya melao ya bjala. Go feta fao, mmotlolo WA leano o a šišinywa go kgonthišiša ditekanetšo tša go swana tša phethagatšo ya Molao wa Bosetšhaba wa Bjala, 59 wa 2003.

Maikaelelo a thutopatlisiso eno ke go swetsa ka phitlhelelo ya togamaano e e totiwang malebana le go diragadiwa ga Molao wa Bosetšhaba wa Nnotagi wa bo59 wa 2003 mo Aforikaborwa. Go na le makoanyana mo tiragatsong ya Molao kwa magatong a bosetšhaba le a diporofense. Dikao tse di farologaneng mo lephateng la Botsamaisi jwa Badiri di ka thusa go tlhama togamaano e e nonofileng go fitlhelela maitlhomo a Bothati jwa Bosetšhaba jwa Nnotagi (NLA), Boto ya Porofense ya Nnotagi (PLB) le Tirelo ya Sepodisi sa Aforikaborwa. Mmatlisisi o dirisitse tsela ya go tlhopha sampole go ya ka maikaelelo a thutopatlisiso mmogo le go letla ba ba mo patlisisong go ngokela ba bangwe go nna karolo ya sampole go tlhopha bannileseabe ba le 21 ba ba nang le kitso e e tseneletseng ya tiragatso ya melao ya bosetšhaba le ya porofense ya nnotagi. Go dirisitswe dipotsolotso tse di batlileng di rulagana go kokoanya tshedimosetso go tswa kwa sepodising le kwa batlhatlhobing ba e seng ba sepodisi ba nnotagi ba ba nang le seabe mo tiragatsong ya Molao. Go buisitswe dikwalo tsa bosetšhaba le tsa boditšhabatšhaba go kokoanya tshedimosetso ya tiori. Tshedimosetso e ne ya sekasekwa ka tiriso ya dipakana tse di dirisang dipalopalo. Go dirisitswe porokeramo ya serweboleta sa ATLAS.ti go aroganya tshedimosetso go ya ka meono. Maitlhomo a thutopatlisiso e ne e le go tlhaloganya togamaano e e totilweng malebana le tiragatso ya melao ya bosetšhaba le ya porofense ya nnotagi. Mo godimo ga moo, go sekasekilwe seabe sa batlhatlhobi ba nnotagi le ditsamaiso tse go anamisiwang tshedimosetso ka ga melao ya nnotagi ka tsona go netefatsa tiragatso. Go ne ga lebelelwa ditiragatso tse di gaisang tsa boditšhabatšhaba mo tiragatsong ya melao ya nnotagi mme go tshitshintswe sekao sa togamaano go tshegetsa makoa mo tiragatsong ya melao eno. Diphitlhelelo di supile sekgala magareng ga Molao wa Bosetšhaba wa Nnotagi wa bo59 wa 2003 le diphitlhelelo tse di totilweng tsa togamaano tsa ditheo, tlhaelo ya bokgoni le tlhaeletsano e e bokoa malebana le melao ya nnotagi. Gape go tshitshinngwa sekao sa togamaano go netefatsa gore go nna le sekano se se tshwanang sa tiragatso ya Molao wa Bosetšhaba wa Nnotagi wa bo59 wa 2003.
