SEEMS Gautengers are sober just one day a week.

From Phuza Thursday to Chesiyama Sundays, it's a party every day except Wednesday.

Tuesdays used to be off the drunk cards - until pleasure hunters found a new excuse to abuse their livers, taking the number to six times a week.

This follows the introduction of "Tuesday Affairs" in Daveyton, east of Joburg.

This new drinking concept officially leaves Wednesday as the only day to detox.

In the past, revellers would detox on Monday and "relieve babalaz" by drinking litres of water and other alcohol-free detoxifiers.

But all that became history a couple of years ago with the introduction of the Monday Mogodu concept.

So on Mondays, celebs and upper-crust Egolists gather at Mogodung, Stupung Fifteen or Ga-Chicks in Alexandra, where they drink until the wee hours of the morning.

Now, with the birth of Tuesday Affairs, Gautengers have only Wednesdays to be on the wagon.

Sunday World crew barrelled to Frontseat Lounge on Tuesday to gauge the atmosphere, and as deep house lovers we were blown away.

The concept, the brainchild of Daveyton businessman Pule " Mabaso" Chesa, is drawing throngs of nocturnal prowlers to his joint, Frontseat Lounge, where they merrily imbibe various brands of alcohol while dancing to deep house.

Speaking to Sunday World, Chesa, who is also a regular at 15 Mogodung, said he introduced the concept after discovering that people wanted to have fun on Tuesdays as well.

"We get people from KwaThema, Springs and Vosloorus - in fact, almost all fun-loving people from the East Rand, wanting to refresh or relieve work stress," he said.

About 100 cars, including Mercedes-Benzes, Audi S3s, Range Rovers and BMW M3s, were parked outside the lounge as the inside parking was bursting at the seams with people and road monsters.

Men and women immaculately dressed in winter coats and furs arrived in dribs and drabs, clutching bottles of expensive single malts, and sedately waltzed into the outlet where house music boomed from gigantic speakers.

Every now and then, they would stagger towards the gas heaters in the middle of the dance floor to warm their hands as temperatures plummeted to single digits during the night.

Trevor Ngwenya, who arrived with a bevy of sexy vixens, said he visited the place every Tuesday because this was where he lured his previous conquests to his bed.

"Every time I come here, I leave with a new chick. I like these sessions. They are stylish," he said.

Mxolisi Diba, a gay man who travelled from KwaThema to quench his zest at the outfit, said he would not miss Tuesday Affairs for anything.

"It's a nice way of chilling. You get to talk about your work problems with people you work with," he said.

But Tuesday Affairs does not only bring fun to pleasure-governed Jozi mortals, it also helps local vendors to put bread on the table.

Mapapa Leso, who sells boiled eggs, loose draws and snacks, said he made between R850 and R1200 on Tuesdays.

"I support my family and take my kids to school with the money I make here," he said.

The food on offer includes pap and chicken for only R30. Water sells for an astronomical R13.

The booze comes at a good price and there's a wide variety.

We wonder who will introduce a Wednesday concept. then Gautengers can officially be labelled full-blown alcoholics.
