Thanks Carolyn, if possible when you see it open again please take a
photograph. But only if you can, don't put yourself at risk. Const.
Berry has informed the shift captain. And as far as I know he has also
informed the shift staff. They (Mezani) are probably going to make it
as difficult as possible so we need to record all instances of them
defying the law. Please keep reporting.

Hats off to constable Mark Berry, our redoubtable sector commander,
for his massive contribution to the closure of the drug club Mezani
Lounge.
We have received the good news from the Liquor Authority today that
the Liquor Licencing Tribunal has temporarily suspended Mezani's
liquor licence in terms of Section 71 of the Liquor Act, pending a
further hearing in terms of Section 20 into the fitness of the liquor
licence holder to trade in liquor. The date for the Section 20
hearing has not been established yet. It is expected that Daniel
Lossy, the liquor licence holder, will be declared unfit to hold a
licence after that hearing, unless his lawyers pressurise the
Tribunal into disregarding the interests of the community.
If Mezani trades at any time over the next few months, it will be in
defiance of the Liquor Tribunal's ruling. If anyone sees them open,
please take a picture with your cell phone so that it can be
submitted to the LA, who will use it as further evidence in the
upcoming Section 20 hearing.
Mark, together with const. Chadwick Adams, has done months of
grueling police work to build a case before the Liquor Tribunal that
Mezani was in the grips of a destructive drug trade. The work
involved confronting dangerous and aggressive criminals, conducting
numerous drug raids and reacting to some hectic complaints, including
a horrible rape at the premises, and continuously suffering vile
abuse from the defiant management and drug dealers at Mezani -- most
of this while we were sleeping. The work also involved hours of
paperwork to convince the Liquor Authority that Mezani was a problem.
Thank you Const Berry and Adams!
