SO there’s a move to open a strip club in the heart of Umhlanga Rocks. The Northglen News has been inundated with calls from residents who are opposed to this, even though the initiator says he has not made up his mind. But Shaun Russouw  who runs Teazers in Springfield Park in his interview with the Northglen News, neither confirmed nor denied that he would be opening a strip club but rather fingered uMhlanga residents as being “hypocritical”. Russouw said he would not call the uMhlanga establishment Teazers but rather, Diamond Grill and Lounge and insists that he will not be selling sex.

In answer to the question: “Will you be turning Gordon’s Pub into a strip club?, Russouw said: “How will having a strip club here make a difference to residents. The girls will be strictly regulated and they are not allowed to leave with people who come to the club. Professional people and mainly couples looking for entertainment would be our guests.”

Russouw told the Northglen News that “many apartments in uMhlanga Rocks already have escorts who operate from there as we speak”.

Residents however told the Northglen News that a strip club in the seaside town would devalue their properties and lend an unsavory element to what was known for years as a “village”.
An uMhlanga resident told the Northglen News: “We got wind that he wanted to open a strip club about a month ago.”

  1. If people want to go to strip clubs they will go. regardless if where it is. rather an upmarket one than a dirty low class one.

  2. Y should you be even thinking of a strip club please we have enough problems in south africa and we don’t need more just think about this 4 a moment would u want ur daughter or sister or mother or your wife 2 work in a strip club come on stop thinking about money and think about the women cos this is not right

  3. He looks like a very unsavoury character. Umhlanga village is a family place. If people want a strip club, they should go to the city.

  4. He clearly thinks it’s okay, I mean just look at him. The epitome of sleaze.

    Umhlanga is a seaside village for families and the addition of a Teazers or any other kind of revue bar would destroy that. Residents – don’t let it happen. Keep the rubbish out of Umhlanga otherwise it’s all downhill from here on out!!!!!! Stop it before it starts!!!

    I for one will never return to Umhlanga for holidays – I am in Umhlanga at least four times a year spend the whole of December there. If there’s a Teazers on the corner which we pass by every single day – that marks the end!!!!!!

    My holidays and money will be better spent in Plett then!!!!!!!!
