Business owners disapprove of Dollar Table
MELVILLE – Business owners near Dollar Table tells of how they disapprove of the night club.
Following the murder of the 29-year-old Thulani Popoyi, business owners in 7th Street, Melville say they have always disapproved of Dollar Table.
Jonathan Butler: “I have been operating here for many years and Dollar Table has been operating here illegally, the owner is not really a great guy and he likes bribing the police because he is believed to be a very influential person This place has been nothing but bad news from the start.
Victor Hohls: “Thulani was a promoter at Liquid Blue, I knew him very well, I am still shocked about what happened. He was friendly and very welcoming. It is a massive loss for the community. I don’t want to say a lot about Dollar Table.”
Grace Long: “I hope they lock the Dollar Table owner up. I am fuming right now, no one liked this guy – I knew Thulani, he was wonderful and he did not deserve to die like that. I just hope they can close the place.”
What I find disappointing is that I have on numerous occasions requested MNT to write an article on the corruption and illegalities of Dollar Table and to expose it. MNT unfortunately ignored my written requests instead of, as a community newspaper, listening to the community. Only producing positive articles until a major crime occurs serves nobody .
DISGRACE that this was allowed to happen ! Hope Sydney Moshapo rots in jail !
Just sad reading about this. I love Melville. That building doesn’t even look safe! There are some really good places in Melville….
