VIDEO: Bheki Cele And Team Shut Down Nigerian Night Club After Raid
In the early hours of Sunday morning, the SAPS were given a tip-off that a renowned Nigerian night club in Sandton, Black Door, was operating and breaking the law.
The tip-off came after the Nigerian owner posted videos on Instagram of the partying that was taking place after 12 am. Bheki Cele and his team arrived at the scene around 2 am to discover that the club had contravened the COVID-19 regulations.
Speaking to the media Bheki Cele said they were more than 300 people inside the club, no social distancing was observed and none of them wore a mask. The police then confiscated all the expensive alcohol from the night club as a punishment for defying the 12:00 AM curfew.
You can have a look at the below videos:
