After three failed attempts by previous managers to bring back the Cloud9 brand to bigger heights, new manager of the upmarket club, Hey Nyenaah, has revealed that customers will now buy alcoholic beverages on credit.

Speaking at the re-launch of the club recently, local entertainer Hey Nyenaah real name Theo Botshelo Bome told the media that although there are risks involved, customers will be able to purchase beer with the promise that they will pay in the future. “We are going to be different from other night clubs. You come here and drink and you will sort us out when you are in good standing.

You can drink every day for the entire month. People want to drink, we are dealing with a lot of things in life like depression so people should not kill themselves while there is entertainment available to soothe their sorrows,” he said.

Hey Nyenaah, however, disclosed that they will not just sell alcohol on credit to anyone but they will only sell to customers who are trustworthy. He added that they will take risks like any other company. Hey Nyenaah indicated that what differentiates them from previous managers is that they came up with new plans to reinvigorate the place and the entertainment space as a whole.

He pointed out that although most of the time they will be selling alcohol at club price, on some of the days they will be selling at bar price. He said they want people to feel free and drink at the lifestyle club.

“We want to redefine entertainment,” he highlighted. Besides selling drinks on credit, Hey Nyenaah also revealed that they will work with different entertainment brands locally such as Home Coming, Dark Nights, Pretty Girls and Born and Raised. Few months back, the club revamped and it now has a bigger stage, better ambiance, improved VIP lounge with own bar. The general section has a capacity of up to 200 people while the VIP Lounge could accommodate 70 patrons.
