Strip Club Chain To Close Doors Today

Lolly Jackson, Teazers

Business partners, friends and family members arrived at the Teazers head office in Rivonia on Tuesday morning to discuss and grieve about the death of business tycoon Lolly Jackson. Jackson’s partner, Shaun Russouw, who runs the Durban branches of the strip-franchise, arrived at the Rivonia branch at 7.30am, armed with an automatic rifle. Russouw, who spoke to Lolly on Monday afternoon to discuss business matters, was shocked and deeply upset at the death of the man he had worked with for over 10 years.
“Everybody says Lolly was bad, but at the end of the day, he had a good heart,” said Russouw.

Sean Newman, spokesman for the Jackson family and Teazers franchise, informed the media that “no questions will be entertained on the crime”.

“We all want to see who perpetrated the crime behind bars, but anything said in the next few days could jeopardise the case,” said Newman, who confirmed that all questions related to the crime should be directed to Lt Colonel Eugene Opperman. ”All we’re asking for is a bit of privacy for (the family),” said Newman, who explained that Jackson’s wife and children were ‘shattered, and (he could) only imagine how they feel’.

Newman also confirmed that all of the partners in the Teazers franchise would be coming to Joburg on Tuesday to meet, along with Jackson’s family to discuss the business and the crime.

According to a worker at Teazers who wished to remain anonymous, the police arrived on Monday night after the murder to inform Jackson’s son, Manoli, of the death of his father at about 10.30pm.

RIP Emmanuel “Lolly” Jackson

Lolly Jackson, Teazers

 Emmanuel “Lolly” Jackson, the owner of the Teazers chain of strip clubs, was shot and killed in Johannesburg on Monday. The controversial and colourful Jackson, who called himself “The King of Teaze” in his autobiography, grew up in South Africa though his early childhood was spent in the Congo, according to his website. The site describes him as a “diverse and interesting man” who was “not afraid to take risks to succeed”.

He started and ran a successful paving business and moved on to the Teazers empire soon after. The site also describes him as “no stranger to controversy”.

Jackson regularly appeared in the media – his controversial billboards advertising the strip clubs often raised eyebrows.

His penchant for fast cars also landed him in hot water with law enforcement agencies – he was caught travelling at 249km/h in his Lamborghini in 2005.

At the time, he said he was en route to church. He was again caught speeding earlier this year.

In 2008, he was cleared of fraud and immigration contraventions by the Edenvale Magistrate’s Court.

Last year, he was again hauled before a court, where he pleaded guilty to assaulting a former employee.

Last month, he appeared in a Randburg court on charges of extortion, kidnapping, intimidation and crimen injuria. The case related to a fight with former stripper and Teazers dancer Yuliyana Moshorovs’ka and her boyfriend, Michael Kalymnios.

Despite the negative publicity he received, Jackson in February reportedly said that he was really a “good oke” who donated to charity.

“Many of his detractors would like you to focus on the negative publicity that follows him around, but those that know and love him will attest to the fact that often the story gets a little jumbled up based on what he does for a living,” Jackson’s website said.
