The members of our communities comes across challenges such as dealing with crime, a culture of violence, drug and alcohol abuse which affects their development.  (Roux and Mokhele, 2011). In countries where alcohol is openly advertised and readily available,  alcohol abuse is common, since it is consumed by many on a daily basis in social settings at an affordable price (Connor, Harbert and Hall, 2016). Alcohol related problems in South Africa contribute to high rates of road traffic crashes,  crime, interpersonal violence and unsafe sex (Chersich and Rees, 2010; Jones, Hughes, Atkinson and Bellis, 2011). This makes the distribution  and the number of alcohol retail outlets that contribute to alcohol abuse a national concern,  since it poses a threat to the health and safety of the people in the community (Thombs et al, 2008).
