The slick, luxurious and very elegant hangout spot will serve nothing but lip-smacking drinks, delectable food and obviously the best music, making it your new favourite go-to spot.
Expressing his excitement AKA said having his own vodka brand named after his is not enough, so he wanted to look for a way the Megacy will get to experience it by getting his own spot of course, "For me having my own Vodka is not enough ... I now need my very own venue for you to experience it in. This has now been achieved with @cubaloungeblk."
With his latest WIN, AKA also revealed that he might need to move to KwaZulu-Natal and live there permanently so that he focus a lot on his business venture.
AKA is just the latest ZAleb to officially own a restaurant. Somgaga just launched a cookbook but he too also plans of opening a restaurant next year 2021. Maps Maponyane is also a proud part-owner of a burger joint called Bun Out. The burger joint has received some very good reviews from people thanks to their exquisite buns.
Influencer Kefilwe Mabote is also a proud owner of a fast-food franchise called Tasty Gallos. "Girl, you have done it again” - a motto I tell myself every single day! Today, I was at lunch and the exciting news came that I was an Official Franchisee of a @tasty.gallos! I couldn’t be happier at the prospect of owning my own fast food franchise!"
Mabote is excited about her new business venture. She's also encouraged those interested in owning a Tasty Gallos franchise should e-mail her for more information.
