Mpho Makola Is Yet Another Grootman Restaurant Supporter!

Mpho Makola Is Yet Another Grootman Restaurant Supporter! The restaurant is gaining somewhat of a cult following because of its unique story.

Grootman Restaurant has been on an uphill trajectory since getting over a few hiccups. Mpho Makola seems to be yet another supporter and ambassador for the brand.

The food location has built a strong list of ambassador’s and supporters from across the PSL, but majority of these past and current players are connected with Orlando Pirates. This includes the likes of Happy Jele, Kermit Erasmus, Oupa Manyisa, Brighton Mhlongo and now Mpho Makola.

These are all legends of The Buccaneers. Bibo will also hope to have a product or two named after him, just like the names that precede him, as they all have their own customised sauces.

Back in Business

Lucky Lekgwathi suffered a couple of setbacks within the first year of opening his business. In July 2021 he was a victim of civil unrest and countrywide looting, which saw his new store completely vandalised.

He was then able to relocate from Kliptown to the suburbs of Southdale where he has been operating.

“I didn’t think something like that would happen to my restaurant because people from the community interacted fondly with me and they loved our food,” he spoke, as per City Press.

“After the looting it was like people were now aware of Grootman and everybody was looking for it. So, when we reopened here there was a lot of support from the people, and I was surprised to see some of the customers we served in Kliptown.”

The business will be looking to grow even more over the coming months and years. Mpho Makola Is Yet Another Grootman Restaurant Supporter!
