A lifestyle restaurant/bar in Cape Town experienced one of its most lucrative evenings on Thursday, September 1, 2022 (Spring Day), when a man named Sabelo spent more than R200,000 on booze and purchased brandy for each table.

BRANDY FOR SPRING
On Spring Day, the man known as Sabelo on Twitter purchased 29 bottles of brandy for each table at the bar and spent more over R200,000 mostly on booze and food at The Milk Restaurant and Champagne Bar in Cape Town.
A Tweep with the handle @uYesuKrestu shared the absurd bill on Twitter, and other app users cannot fathom how so much money could be spent in only a few hours.
How then can a lifestyle restaurant and bar bill reach R216k? So then, let’s break down the purported order.
up to R45 000 for 29 bottles of Hennessy whiskey
6 Ace Brut bottles for as much as R54 000
10 bottles of Dom Perignon champagne with a value of R60,000.00
7 bottles of Moet Nectar champagne up to R11,200.
Six R7 600 Vueve Rich champagne
Last week, there was a mall theft in the same neighborhood.

RESPONSE TO THE ACT
According to the Twitter user who posted the image of the receipt, the club is located in the same neighborhood where a mall robbery occurred last week. Others questioned the legitimacy of the bill, asking precisely how the institution could afford to store so many pricey champagne bottles.
@BlackWizSA:
“Someone should investigate cash heists during the last month. Nobody with a 9-to-5 does this.”
@Thato7Mk:
“They produce these fraudulent content bills. You may call anything and then cancel the whole charge.”
@MkayMncedi:
“Dude… This is no joke. Sunday, I was present. I saw him purchasing Aces, XOs, etc. at that table. Wednesday, I observed The Milk’s Instagram status. The same guy is pouring heaps of Hennessey at each table.”
@CoruscaKhaya:
“Those three cups of juice are morally irrelevant to our discussion. Abahoxe.”
Here is your man, @SAPoliceService, @NPA Prosecutes, and @RSASIU!

These costs are so cheap that they make us feel as if we are being cheated in Gauteng.
