Mjabeng's Place

Mjake’s Place has been around for the last 22 years. The jazzy tavern, opened by Mjabeng Mkhize after she lost her job as a pharmacist, was started when she converted one of her living rooms into a shebeen.

The tavern offers comfortable seating with contemporary décor and it is the ultimate venue for anyone who enjoys a stylish surrounding. It is a great place to go for a drink, especially since there are very few other taverns in the area that offer the same exclusivity.

Mkhize says that over the years she has seen her business grow from a humble and small shebeen, where she used to stock a few crates of beer, into becoming a reputable tavern which now sells a huge quantity of liquor.

 “When I was born, my mother was running a shebeen, and I went to school supported by the money generated from a shebeen. Also, my children are in college, their fees paid by the shebeen money. I believe in hard work and focusing on my strengths! That’s why, today I am the most successful tavern owner in my area” says Mkhize.
