As the Wednesday deadline looms to name and shame on social media those owing a Cape Town bar for alcohol they bought on credit, an attorney has warned the venue could find itself in hot water.
Saint Champagne Bar and Lounge stunned social media users at the weekend when it threatened to publish the identities of indebted customers and what they owe. Prime Time, also in Cape Town, followed suit with a 12-hour notice to those who owe it money.
However, director and attorney at Dubazana Attorneys, Nthabiseng Dubazana, says the venues could find themselves in trouble if they publish names and pictures.
