Wednesday, February 14, 2024 - Renowned human rights activist, Boniface Mwangi, has announced the planned closure of his 505 nightclub, located in Kilimani estate, Nairobi.
In a social media post on Wednesday, Mwangi
announced that the last drinks will be served on Valentine’s Day.
He will then proceed to demolish the premises
on Thursday, February 15.
“Today is Valentine’s Day. If you’re single and want to mingle, or you’re a couple looking to unwind, come have your drink at 505.
"Today we shall serve the last drinks at 505, and tomorrow we shall
demolish what we built,” Mwangi wrote.
The activist noted that the decision to bring
down the premises was not easy but he was forced by the prevailing
circumstances to do it.
“The hardest thing in life is to know that you
did everything right but it still turned out wrong,” he added.
Boniface Mwangi recounted opening up 505 and the support he received afterward.
In all the hype and celebrations, Mwangi
also encountered betrayal from close friends.
“When we opened our doors, our friends and comrades came to support us and they have never stopped.
"One day, I will tell
the story of betrayal, theft by a servant, and an ignorant, arrogant landlord
but today, I want to invite you to a final celebration of 505,” Mwangi
recalled.
Nonetheless, he invited revellers to share the
last drinks at the premises today before bringing it down.
“This investment has a lot of untold stories, the next chapter of this story, l will share in the coming days.
"This
Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate love with drinks and food at 505. It’s the
last call for alcohol at 505,” Mwangi concluded.
