Dear Wendy,

As discussed, here is suggested wording for an e-mail to go to your members in regard to the above:

"The Department of Trade and Industry has published a policy document in regard to the sale of liquor during the 2010 World
Cup.

While the document is, in our opinion, and that of our attorneys, ambiguous and open to various interpretations, it may be
construed to imply that all premises, including restaurants and bars at which television coverage of World Cup matches will be available for public viewing will be required to apply for a liquor license, over and above any existing license, for the duration of the World Cup competition, at a cost of R50 000.00.

The Department of Trade and Industry has called for public reaction to the document before regulations are passed relating to
the liquor sales during the World Cup. RASA intends to makes submissions. However, any member who wishes to make
submissions in their own right is welcome to do so. For any information, please contact Wendy Alberts at RASA (Tel number
011 705 2054), or our attorney Ian Jacobsberg at Eversheds (Tel Number 011 523 6091)."

Having at the look at the document, I am of the opinion that the intention is probably not for established businesses, who already have licenses, to have to purchase special licenses for the World
Cup, but rather that a temporary venue that is established specifically to screen World Cup events will require a license and will have to pay the license fee.However, as indicated above, the policy document is not clear in this regard, and I believe that we should request clarity to ensure that when the final regulations are passed, existing licensed businesses will not have to apply for special licenses.

Please contact me if you wish to discuss this further.

Regards

Ian Jacobsberg
