Pole sana ndugu, I thought I had read something about you not honouring your pledge in another post. A MILLION APOLOGIES!!!

M&A activity? Meaning .....

It's been so looong since I checked the thread and was surprised to find venue has already been changed from Capri7. So what is the new venue and what are rates? @Famooz I'll honour my pledge on Tue next week.

I'd think, if you want to make it fun and have many people, make it 'dutch' for the things that have not been pledged.... and let everybody else who is willing to come be free to come... otherwise, you might find yourself with only the people who have pledged, @kahingeri might end up eating his whole mbuzi, over pledged alcohol with poor turn-out and things going to "waste" - though you can funga the mbuzi home but that wasn't the intention. kama chakula iko kidogo, watu wachange wamalize kulipa bill yenye itakuwa over and above the pledge - or everyone pays for their "order". If people are aware that there will be a deficit and hence, they'll be expected to top up to clear it, i believe wazuans are responsible enough to clear their own bills....

From the past mbuzi's postings, there were minimal "pledges" and people paid up their bills, of course except one fella who "scattered" and left kina @Pablo with an unpaid bill.... otherwise, i don't think there are many such characters. But that's my view.

Make sure you put up a "list of shame" for those who will not honor their bills after they've consumed.... as for unpaid pledges, i bet there's nothing you can do... the best is consolidate what you have and say that's what's going to be consumed..... anything beyond that, people clear their bills and let the restaurant know that other orders outside this will be paid directly so that they can follow up their orders themselves.... less stress for you @famooz and you wont have to carry anyone's cross....
