Whilst I appreciate your opinion it may be of interest to you that I have spent over 20 years in the nightclub industry as a promoter, partner and owner of a few highly recognised nightclubs in South Africa. Notwithstanding having recieved various rewards and accolades from the industry, and considering my last nightclub was voted club of the year does allow me to have a well balanced opinion of drawing parallels bewteen the 'entertainment' experience. But, you are correct in stating they are different experiences. Regards Dear B Rand

For example - South Africans look to secure environments such as shopping centres for entertainment, rather than nightclubs and pubs. Can he please share details on where he arrived at these stats! They are misleading as well as inane. Both experiences are different firstly and secondly shopping centres are more prone to criminal activity than nightclubs.
