“Not Reality”: Saffas Have Strong Opinions About KONKA, the Lavish Soweto Nightclub Hides the Real Township

• KONKA nightclub is the hot new place to be in Soweto and it manages to trend every week on social media
• Due to its popularity, Briefly News shared a post on Facebook about the club's appeal among the affluent and how it is transforming the face of townships
• However, many people across Mzansi had interesting views and said that it isn't a correct representation of the real township life

We at Briefly News have kept a close eye on the KONKA nightclub in Soweto after noticing its widespread popularity among the rich and famous. It has transformed the image of the township from a place of poverty to one where the elite go to let their hair down.

However, in our latest Facebook post about KONKA, we've realised that many people across Mzansi don't believe the hype and many feel it is reserved for a select group of people who don't live in the township, therefore, it is not a correct representation of Soweto or any other township for that matter.

We captioned the post:

"KONKA is a nightclub situated deep in the heart of Soweto, it's a millionaire's playground. Townships are no longer the symbol of poverty."

Saffas are not vibing with Konka

The post has received a big response from Saffas who aired their views about the club. Many don't buy into the hype and say it only appeals to the super-rich, who make up only a tiny percentage of the population.

Let's dive into some of the comments:

MaNtimela Gebanekazi Jacob:

"This is a symbol of stupidity and bankruptcy."

Vincent Tsholo Mofokeng

"Not a true representation of what is the reality of many township dwellers."

Veli Mbatha:

Saffas joke that Elon Musk qualifies to drink at KONKA with R4.25 trillion nett worth

In other news, Briefly News reported that our readers gathered online to give subtle and cheeky suggestions as to how Pretoria's own Elon Musk could spend his cash. Neither the skies nor the roads are safe from this business powerhouse.

Musk shook the world with his influence on the electric car and his interest in space travel. Perhaps Musk's success comes from his South African roots. Mzansi welcomed him back to the rainbow nation by offering him drinks at KONKA in exchange for him taking the reins at the embattled power utility Eskom.
