POLL | Would you spend R1m for a table at a New Year’s Eve bash?

Those who are thinking of hitting up Saint should note they will have to settle their bill for the evening,

The prestigious venue made headlines earlier this year when it threatened to name and shame those who had not paid their bills.

The venue’s manager told TimesLIVE they had reached a point of desperation because some customers had owed them for six months and longer.

One patron owed R224,000 while others racked up bills of R150,000, R110,000 and R90,000.

“It’s the big guys, they want to show off. They drive expensive cars. They want to show people they have money but they can’t pay their bills

“We have been following up on the bills, calling and asking them to pay and getting only empty promises,” the manager said.
