Interesting
BBC slideshow on Shebeens, South Africa's informal drinking dens in residential areas. Turns out the authorities are cracking down on these for various trumped up reasons. View
here the discussion with the proprietor of
Makati's Paradise shebeen in
Gugulethu township near the lovely city of
Cape Town...
The crackdown strikes me as yet another officious intrusion of a too-powerful State into the peaceful lives and liberties of everyday citizens. Surely the police have better things to do than bully a bunch of beer drinkers?
