A shebeen would be quite lit at this hour. Be it OneSixty Jan Smuts, 24 Central, George Storrar or Jan Shoba.

Friday nights were always the biggest nights. Dancers would be all up hanging like stunning chandeliers, the fog of cigars coupled by flairs and the smoke 💨machine 🔥🔥
Champagne bottles would be flying, this is the part where girls ditch the Vodka moreki, you’re wasting their time.

The music at the point is on fire. For someone who arrived before midnight while the club was still empty, you wonder “where is everyone coming from?”
Waitresses at this point don’t care much about how their make up is. It’s time to cash in. SALES SALES SALES, shouts the manager at the service bar.

None of them want to sell double tots anymore, that was the hospitality trick before midnight.
The main act of the night would be preparing to ascend the stage/decks. Now here you’re about to distinguish between fans and hustlers.

On the one end you’ll spot the shy hostess, a groupie of note, notorious amongst the Dj’s. O ba kolela goet. Money for her, not a biggie ....
...she will make sure she gets assigned to the talent hospitality section - the manager even knows that.

Then go na le dikakapa, the ones who occupy the VIP benches. Once you say hi and invite them to your tables, the party turns up a notch, and so does your tab...
...they move around in Mafia groups. At this hour, moreki for one is moreki for all, kunzima... Appletiser doesn’t do it anymore.

Once the ring leader arrives, champagne is demanded, not one bottle, but two. Followed by, “can I invite my girls over”
The dress is short, thighs are glowing, Ke re yellow bone samma. Etiquette e gafiša papago. Moreki is guaranteed a win, and cannot refuse the friends coming over.

1st round, the two bottles are done, the friends are dancing around trying to act oblivious, but carefully eyeing...
..the situation as moghel moves closer to moreki, that signals to the waiter that the bottles are finished.

As she arrives, she politely asks to remove the empties - moment of strength - she asks, another round?

Moreki nods, o bona serope, can’t risk embarrassment...
... the vultures return, mabhiri got topped up. But moreki is giving them an awkward eye, tempted to tell moghel that your friends are just too much now.

But won’t risk scoring for the night, whiskey e mo fohla goet that time. Dj gives him a S/O 🔥🔥🔥 moreki o gafa more...
