DJ Sbu Launches ‘Mzake’s Kitchen’ – A Culinary Tribute to Mzekezeke

A Taste of Township Culture
DJ Sbu, one of South Africa’s most influential media personalities and entrepreneurs, has unveiled Mzake’s Kitchen, a brand-new restaurant concept that celebrates local culture, music, and flavour. With the tagline “Unmasking Flavour, One Bite At A Time,” the eatery pays homage to the iconic kwaito artist Mzekezeke.

Who is Mzekezeke?
Mzekezeke is a masked kwaito star who gained fame in the early 2000s for his energetic performances, radio presence, and unmistakable musical style. Known for never revealing his face, he quickly became a symbol of township expression and mystery. While DJ Sbu has long denied being the man behind the mask, fans continue to believe they are one and the same.

Unmasking Flavour, One Bite At A Time
Mzake’s Kitchen promises to blend nostalgic township vibes with bold culinary creativity. DJ Sbu describes the space as “more than a restaurant” — a vibrant cultural hub that brings people together through music, heritage, and hearty South African dishes.
