Police order G-West night clubs shut

Other patrons who turned up later were disappointed to find the two popular joints shut. However, after the police closed the nightclubs revellers staged their own parties in the parking lot, playing loud music from cars. People who were selling beer illegally made a killing from patrons in the car park as police did not harass revellers who were playing loud music from their parked vehicles.

The police maintained that they had to order the two nightclubs shut because they were operating without trading licences. The police decision comes just after the Lobatse High Court granted an interim order last week to suspend the new liquor regulations following a case that has been lodged by four nightclub owners. The nightclub operators are praying
that the new liquor regulations should be declared discriminatory and ultra vires,
and consequently set aside.
