South African granny sues strippers for millions
A grandmother from Brackenfell in the Western Cape is suing a British strip club for millions - and you would never guess why?
The grandmother is suffering from an eye injury because she was hit by a pair of trousers in the face. This took place when the dancers were stripping down during their routine.
A South African Sunday newspaper reported that Merle Groenewald was left with a ‘permanent eye injury’.
She is suing the strip club for a whopping R2.7-million in damages.

Groenewald works at a popular Cape Town hotel.
According to Attorney Mark Mulrooney, he said: "One of the performers flicked his trousers toward the audience, but part of the trousers caught Mrs. Groenewald in the eyes and caused her to suffer injury. She suffered a severe blunt injury to her left eye which caused her to require surgery. She has lost useful vision in her left eye and suffered a temporary injury to her right eye."
