ST ELMO’s restaurant in Camps Bay, Cape Town, which was ripped apart by a pipe-bomb explosion in November, was on Thursday provisionally liquidated after its insurers refused to pay its claim. The restaurant owners applied for provisional liquidation, saying they are operating at a loss, and thus can not meet their business obligations. But insurers said the claim cannot be paid because the damage was caused by an act of terrorism. 48 people were injured on November 28 last year when a pipe-bomb exploded at the restaurant.
