Introducing the <strong>Mpumalanga</strong> Economic Regulator<br />

The <strong>Mpumalanga</strong> Economic Regulator (“MER”) is a newly<br />

established public entity, reporting to the Department of<br />

Economic Development and Tourism (“DEDT”) in <strong>Mpumalanga</strong>,<br />

charged with the mandate to provide for the regulation of the<br />

gambling and liquor industries in the Province and to provide for<br />

any other matters connected therewith.<br />

The entity was established on 16 October <strong>20</strong>17, marking the<br />

beginning of a journey as a new provincial public entity, aiming to<br />

achieve a cohesive and streamlined approach to gambling<br />

and liquor regulation in the <strong>Mpumalanga</strong> Province.<br />

The establishment of the MER is a culmination of a merger<br />

between the <strong>Mpumalanga</strong> Gambling Board (“MGB”) and the<br />

<strong>Mpumalanga</strong> Liquor Authority (“MLA”).<br />

Our approach<br />

We balance robust industry supervision to prevent and minimise harm<br />

associated with the abuse of alcohol and social impacts associated<br />

with problem gambling. This facilitates a regulatory environment<br />

which enables a diverse and vibrant industry and recognises the social<br />

and economic benefits around responsible industry development. We<br />

have leveraged on the gambling and liquor regulation to develop<br />

holistic approaches to these issues through enhancements in licensing,<br />

compliance, education and administration.<br />

We take a risk-based and intelligence led approach to ensure our<br />

resources are applied where the risk is greatest and to minimise the<br />

burden on responsible industry. We engage with stakeholders to<br />

appreciate current and emerging issues, to influence policy dialogue<br />

and to encourage positive compliance behaviours and best practice<br />

within the industries.
