SPRINGING MVULENI’S PLACE

Refilwe, Mpumi and Bongi at Mvuleni’s Place.

Mvuleni’s place in Wattville is a must-do on your itinerary. It’ll keep you going until Summer arrives!

Mvuleni opened his establishment fifteen years ago, after he was retrenched. Instead of becoming disheartened, Mvuleni took his retrenchment package and successfully invested in his own business. Today, through perseverance and keeping the flame of new ideas alive, Mvuleni’s Place has become a clever combination venue. At Mvuleni’s Place, you can get your car washed while enjoying some fantastic chisa nyama. Mvuleni happened upon this idea when he realised that, even though he sold food and snacks on a limited scale, it wasn’t enough, as consumers want and need to enjoy a good meal whilst savouring their favourite alcoholic beverage. Mvuleni says: “understanding people’s needs and wants is critical in business” and that when he’d surveyed his competition, he knew he had to step up with something unique. He currently employs one individual to operate the car wash, while Mvuleni takes care of the bar and chisa nyama. He looks towards the future, throughout each day, and hopes to employ twenty more people as his enterprise grows. Regular patrons to Mvuleni’s Place enjoy the leisurely convenience of being able to purchase fresh braai chops, sausages, wors, pork, chuck and pap and yummy chakalaka, all while the DJ fuses and mixes lounge, R&B and soul tunes. When clientele think about combining meetings with leisure activities, they think of Mvuleni’s Place. A constantly evolving establishment, Mvuleni’s Place links dining, convenience and entertainment as a one-stop destination you just have to visit!
