The first time such an attack happened at the venue was in April last year when the joint was then Cloud 9. The second time was in March this year when there was a stampede that led to the door at the club to be broken down as the patrons, who had packed the joint, rushed out to get some fresh air.

On Monday one patron who declined to be named said they were having a drink with friends and went to the toilet at around midnight.

“When I got back from the toilet, I immediatel­y felt my eyes itching and I started sneezing. People rushed to the door trying to get some air. I’ve never experience­d such,” said the patron.

They should catch these people and also they should beef up security,” he said.

DJ Obama, manager at the joint, said these protracted attacks showed it was the work of enemies of the joint.

“We still believe it’s a planned work of our enemies who are not happy with our success. It’s not a coincidenc­e that it always happens when the club is full and our competitio­n empty. It also doesn’t make sense that someone can just pepper spray people for no reason, there has to be a motive and the motive is clear for all to see,” he said.

DJ Obama said they had reported the case to the police and had beefed up security.

“We’ve increased security and installed cameras to make sure it does not happen again. We’ve reported the issue to the police and we’re confident that they will catch these people,” said DJ Obama. DJs on rotation.
