DRUNK AND DEPRAVED: TEENS GO OUT TO PLAY By: Santosh Beharie, Niyanta Singh, Xolani Mbanjwa and Nomfundo Mcetywa Owners of nightclubs in and around Durban and Pietermaritzburg are preparing for a bumper festive season with thousands of patrons, including underage teenagers, expected to bump and grind at venues ranging from the glitzy to dingy. The Sunday Tribune checked out the clubbing scene at several venues in the two cities this week following the murder of a Gauteng teen, Kalin Jooste, 16, who was attacked after leaving a Margate club on Tuesday. Like any other bustling city, Pietermaritzburg has its fair share of nightclubs but there are two that are most popular - Crowded House in Commercial Road, with a mainly white student patronage, and Sticky Fingers, at the other end of the city in Manchester Road, patronised predominantly by Indians. McGinty's Pub in Durban Road is popular among the black crowd and Get Lost, a pool bar, is frequented by people of all age groups. Franki Bananas, a pub in the Armitage Road area, is also popular with whites. The common thread at all these fun-spots is the growing trend of females arriving there alone, in taxis or in groups, and leaving with different people, or sitting drunk in gutters waiting for a lift home. Some, who look as young as 12, are often dolled-up to pass through club security staff who seldom ask females for proof of identity. Inside the club, it's a competition among the girls as to who can have the most number of shooters - neat shots of alcohol such as whisky and tequila. A few dizzy hours later pretty much anything goes. The vomit outside the clubs, on pavements and in gutters, bears testimony to the copious amounts of alcohol consumed at these venues. At a stake-out of clubs recently, the Sunday Tribune also uncovered that drugs were being taken openly in some of the clubs, while alcohol was served to underage teenagers. At one venue the sale of cocaine was observed. One user sniffed the drug in full view of patrons. At another venue, while a Tribune team waited in line to use the toilet, drama ensued when a young woman, who had locked herself in the toilet cubicle to consume cocaine, panicked. "The cocaine is burning. I've had too much, Get me out of here. The walls are closing in on me," she screamed, much to the amusement of other patrons. Eventually cleaners had to help her open the cubicle door. It is not an unusual sight to see mothers storming into clubs and hauling out their daughters, or frustrated mothers waiting outside the club, with the daughters nowhere in sight. In the Durban Road vicinity, many young girls dress to look older than they are in the hope of getting into the pubs there. On December 16 two young girls were observed, both around 12 years old. Wearing high-heeled shoes that they could barely walk on and tight, revealing clothes, they wobbled around chain smoking. First they went to McGinty's, where they were turned away, and then to Get Lost. There they managed to have a few drinks before they were thrown out. Then they proceeded to walk around the parking lot going from car to car until they eventually got into a car that whisked them off. Did their parents know where to? In Durban, Vaccamatta nightclub at the Suncoast casino complex had its fair share of hassles with patrons of all ages on Wednesday night. Promoted as a ladies' night event each week, the popular spot had its usual queue. Inside the club, which charges a R50 entry fee, patrons of all ages wasted no time in downing alcohol of all sorts including shooters, cider, cocktails, beer, whisky, brandy, vodka and wine. One student who turned 23 at midnight was so excited at also passing her exams that she downed a potent shooter of absinthe - having already consumed other alcohol earlier on. Within a few minutes the potent drink took effect. The petite girl vomited on the dance floor before being helped to the ladies room by her amused friends. There was more drama just before 1am when officials from the fire department entered the club for an inspection after receiving a phone call to say that the club was full beyond capacity. Most of the city clubs were quiet - it was, after all, a Wednesday night. Rivets, an upmarket club in the Hilton Hotel, was virtually empty by 11pm with about 10 people, including two couples, enjoying drinks. Across the road at Tilt nightclub, a few people sat in their parked cars outside, with nothing much happening inside. All seemed to be of the correct club-going age. A Cape 2 Cairo (C2C) in Point Road, bouncers searched every person entering. At no stage was proof of age asked for. Reproduced from the Sunday Tribune News 24 December 2005
