Da LES rules at whites-only pool party

Rapper Da LES' s sixth annual all-white pool party was the standard hip-hop music video brought to life. There were celebs, fog machines, slush machines, scantily clad ladies on pool float beds and plenty of alcohol - until it all dried up.

After a while, the only available refreshments at the Bryanston bash were sachets of premixed drinks and expensive bottles of Dom Perignon and Veuve Clicquot champagne.

After the free pizza slices were gone , you could buy a boerewors roll for R30.

Megan Jacobs, PR for the 500-guest event, apologised for "any inconvenience".

In the cordoned off verandah for A-listers like Shashi Naidoo, AKA and Burna Boy, the drinks flowed and the selfies trended, and 5FM DJ Poppy Ntshongwana carried around her new favourite accessory, a selfie stick.
