Lolly Jackson, owner of Teazers, has just purchased himself a brand new Koenigsegg CCX super-car at a whopping R14 million. This makes the Koenigsegg almost double the price of a Ferrari Enzo…
South Africa will receive 3 of the 30 cars made a year and I wonder who the other two cars are going to. Personally I don’t like the Koenigsegg and I’d much rather own an Audi R8 (or 10 at the price of the Koenigsegg) but it’s something to behold nonetheless.

South Africa's "King Of Teaze" Puts Home Up For Auction
Filed under: Estates
Is South Africa's answer to Hugh Hefner ready to leave the country? Lolly Jackson, who owns a string of Teazers nightclub,s has been saying since 2006 that he was ready to leave the country. Now his home in the Befordview area is one of the properties up for auction by Saville Row Auctions on October 1. The fast-living, poker-playing beacon of controversy is selling a home that has five bedrooms, a gym, a sauna, and a Jacuzzi. Jackson is an exotic car collector and so the home has five garages. The grounds also include a garden, pool and aviary. Jackson has long complained over bad treatment in South Africa saying that he receives harsher treatment than other people because of the business he is in. Most recently he was in court over complaints that he illegally employed Eastern Europeans at his Teazers clubs. He is also being investigated by the South African Revenue Service.

Gunned down: Teazers boss Lolly Jackson has been shot dead in Kempton Park, according to police.Photo: Reuters
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. - Sapa

Cars & Girls – The Finest Models in the Lolly Jackson Collection
Lolly Jackson, the well-known boss of the Teazers chain of gentlemen’s entertainment venues, andrecently deceased, had a well known love of fast and expensive motorcars.
Whilst the police still search for his (known) killer, Teazers operations continue unabated, with Jacksons’ wife Demi running the roost. I assume that for the girls working for the Jackons’ it’ll be business as usual under the new boss-lady. I do wonder though what she’ll be doing with the other love of Lolly’s life – his collection of metal magnificence.
Here is a gallery of the finest models in his collection. Yes, this post is focussed on the cars, not the girls. That’s an entirely different collection…
The estate that includes this Tuscan mansion on the banks of the Hartebeesport Dam in the Westlake Country and Safari Estate is being liquidated as we speak. This includes the auction of this prime property on 11 November 2010.

No mention of a strippers’ pole at all???
We look forward to the auctioning of his collection of cars soon as well.
Lolly Jackson Murder: Two More Dead In South Africa Mystery
JOHANNESBURG — More than a year after the owner of a string of South African strip clubs was shot and killed, police are still chasing his killer. Now the recent deaths of men linked to Lolly Jackson have added to the mystery.
Police reports read like a crime thriller, complete with graphic violence, sex and cash.
It began May 3, 2010, when police received a call from a man who said he wanted to surrender after killing Jackson. Police went to a house that belonged to Jackson's friend near Johannesburg's airport and found the strip club tycoon's body. He had been shot several times.
The caller, however, had left in Jackson's car before police arrived, they said. The caller has been identified and police said they are pursuing him as the suspect, but no arrests have been made and he has fled to his native Cyprus.
Jackson was known for his love of flashy cars, periodic legal encounters with police and employees, and the provocative billboards of his Teazers clubs. In life, he proudly called himself the "King of Teaze," and reveled in clashes with South Africa's advertising authorities over his billboards featuring models in lingerie and the double entendre – just barely – slogans.
In death, the Teazers website still features a photograph of Jackson, the son of a Greek immigrant to Africa. The same photo was blown up larger than life to greet hundreds of friends and relatives and dozens of journalists at Jackson's funeral. It shows the burly Jackson with his hair slicked back, wearing a tuxedo and bow tie, a white rose tucked into his lapel.
He was eulogized at his funeral as a "man of true quality," though one speaker acknowledged he "lacked a bit of polish."
Last month, the charred body of Jackson's lawyer was found in the burned remains of his car near Johannesburg. Days later, Jackson's former business partner, Mark Andrews, was found dead on an isolated stretch of highway near Johannesburg.
Andrews "was shot in the back of the head and his hands were tied behind his back," police spokesman Lungelo Dlamini told The Associated Press.
The headlines might make it seem South Africa is overwhelmed by mafia-style violence. In fact, murder rates have been dropping steadily since 1994. The police minister said earlier this month that murders fell by 6.5 percent in the past year to 15,940 – the lowest since the end of apartheid in 1994. South Africa still has one of the highest crime rates in the world.
Dlamini said police were still investigating, and could not confirm media reports the three deaths were linked.
Local media, in a kind of morbid round of six degrees of separation, have linked other deaths since 2009 to Jackson. By some accounts, the body count is 10, among them a bouncer and a private investigator said to have worked for a Czech businessman living in South Africa who is wanted in his homeland on fraud and other charges.
Dlamini said he could not confirm reports that any of these deaths were connected, and they had no suspects in the deaths of the strip club boss's lawyer or his former business partner.
But police said the man who made that May 2010 phone call is a suspect in Jackson's killing. The man, known as George Smith or George Louca, fled to his native Cyprus after Jackson was killed. From there, as authorities wrangle over his extradition, Smith-Louca has given interviews to South African reporters, claiming that if he were brought back to South Africa, he would implicate others in money laundering, bribery and other crimes.
"We're still making those efforts to get George Louca, or whatever his name is, from Cyprus," McIntosh Polela, spokesman for an elite South African police unit known as the Hawks, told AP.
Polela said the investigating was stalled until the suspect can be brought to South Africa, but that police would look into possible links to other killings.
"But we don't want to speculate," he said.
