MOTORISTS WARNED TO AVOID NORTH RAND ROAD

Due to the fierce flames, motorists have been cautioned about this dangerous area.

“Please avoid North Rand Road. Presley’s is on fire. The road will be blocked by emergency vehicles. Please avoid the scene,” Paul Van Der Merwe cautioned motorists on Facebook.

The cause of the fire has not been established at the moment, however, popular patrons are currently sending their thoughts to the owner of the establishment.

“This is Heart-breaking someone’s entire business and life burnt to ashes in merely minutes. Goodbye Presleys and Silverados Boksburg”

PLANNED EVENTS RUINED BY THE DISASTER

Two weeks from now, Presleys was set to host a mega event called the GRANDE FESTA 2 Spring edition.

The club was looking forward to having all its fabulous patrons at the club on 24 September for great music, food and a memorable experience of Portuguese life.

While this venue has been forced by this disaster to shut down, Taboo nightclub in Sandton went ahead voluntarily.

The popular Joburg nightclub officially announced that it had shut down via its Instagram account in July.
