OMRADES are in town for an early Christmas party and word on the street is that they have brought their fat wallets – with some even armed with that unique black card. For those on a journalist’s pitiful budget, a black bank card is for the big spenders. You know the ones with healthy six figure balances seven days a week and 12 months a year? Those ones.
The black card can purchase all of Cubana’s stock with one swipe. In simple terms, it has no limit.
It is the arrival of these brothers and sisters with very deep pockets for the ANC elective conference that has some Joburgers salivating at the prospect of being “blessed”.
Yes, the ANC is in a vicious war with itself in the bruising battle to elect a new president to replace Jacob Zuma but come rain or sunshine, there will be plenty time to play at some of the city’s trendy hot spots. Alcohol will flow freely and there will be enough food to feed even the greedy.
No doubt leading the pack of those on the hunt for a Christmas bonus will be the oldest profession. Ladies and gents of the night are part of the informal sector that plan to cash in on the five day congress.
All roads also lead to the Nasrec Expo Centre for T-shirt, cap, food vendors and even beggars in the hope of getting some of the Christmas gravy train crumbs. The Christmas spirit is indeed upon Joburg.
My only warning to blessees is please try to get sloshed on the brand you know. Experimenting could have embarrassing results.
