Daily Sun (September 29 2014) - THE KEY turns in the lock as you walk into the dark room at sunset and you don't get out until the sun rises.
But this is not a holding cell in a cop shop . . .
THIS IS A TAVERN AND YOU WILL DRINK UNTIL ALL YOUR MONEY IS GONE!
The tavern at Ratanda Hostel in Heidelberg, Gauteng is owned by a sangoma known only as Makhosi and patrons say you don't mess with him because he can strike you with lightning.
"Once you are in, you are in. You can't get out before 6am," said Simon Radebe, a visitor to the all-night tavern who had a black eye. He said he was
moered by the tavern owner after an argument.
"He's a bully. We have to do as he says. If you defy him, you are bliksemed with a knob- kierie and threatened with lightning."
