By Bahle Gama | 2019-06-19

Following its shutting down in the previous years, popular Ezulwini eatery and watering hole Pub & Grill (PTY) Ltd will be going under the hammer at a reserve price of E360 000.

Mbabane Deputy Sherriff David Ngcamphalala disclosed that there would be an auction on Friday morning, where furniture, alcohol, kitchen utensils and other items would be sold to interested members of the public.

He said there would be viewing today for those interested in the items starting at 10am.

“We are hoping to have a buyer with the intention of running a business and will purchase everything inside. We do invite the potential buyers to come for the viewing so they can see the stock available.”

“The eatery has been closed since 2016 after being taken to court over rentals.

The Gables (PTY) Limited, which owns the building where Pub & Grill operated its business, instituted legal proceedings where it demanded E433 641.31 in respect of arrear rentals.

In its application, The Gables (PTY) Limited alleged that from the month of July 2016, Pub & Grill had defaulted in paying its monthly rentals regularly or had not paid them at all for the premises it occupied. The matter appeared before Judge Doris Tshabalala at the High Court, whereby the application was filed under a certificate of urgency by its lawyer Mancoba Tsambokhulu of Waring Attorneys.

Lebohang Clayton, the director of Pub & Grill, was cited as the second respondent in the matter.
