Drop the tired Mzekezeke denial, Sbu, but there is no denying you’re on the button with Mzake’s Kitchen
Oh, Mzansi, grab your skaftin and settle in, because Shwashwi’s got the juiciest tea, and it’s spicier than chakalaka!
Our forever hustler, DJ Sbu, is out here dodging the Mzekezeke rumours like they are a Joburg traffic fine.
For years, we’ve been squinting at that orange-overalled kwaito sensation, Mzekezeke, convinced it’s Sbu under the balaclava, dropping bangers like Sguqa Ngamadolo and Amakoporosh. The voice? Same. The energy? Same. The fact they’ve never been seen together? Suspicious!
Yet, Sbu’s still out here, clutching his MoFaya cans, swearing, “It’s not me!” Haibo, who does he think he’s fooling?
Just the other day, Sbu was on his charm game, hyping Mzekezeke as a “kwaito pioneer” and “trendsetter” while insisting he’s just a fan. He even spun a yarn about Mzekezeke retiring to run taxis and leaving music behind.
Nice try, Mr Leope! Shwa remembers when he “interviewed” Mzekezeke on his radio show – audio only, how convenient! Or that time he posted a blurry pic of Mzekezeke chilling with Drake at Black Coffee’s Madison Square Garden gig.
We weren’t born yesterday, darling!
X was buzzing with shade: one user cackled, “Sbu, you fooled us in 2004, but we’ve got 2025 vision now!” Another said, “This man lies smoother than a politician at a rally!” Shwashwi’s screaming – Sbu, the mask is off in our hearts, just own it!
But let’s pivot to the real spice: Sbu’s latest hustle, Mzake’s Kitchen, the online restaurant serving “Mzekezeke-inspired” kasi cuisine on Uber Eats and Mr D.
Launched over Easter in Jozi, it’s got Mzansitongues wagging – and not just about the food. The name alone had us whispering,
“Is this Sbu winking at the Mzekezeke rumours?”
Nope, he’s still playing coy, but the menu’s got everyone from Soweto to Sandton in a tizzy. A leaked price list went viral on X, and whew, the comments section was a war zone! Some called it “too pricey for kasi food,” while others were like, “Y’all pay R70 for a Nando’s quarter leg and complain about this?”
The price drama had Sbu trending, with some calling Mzake’s Kitchen elitist. But his squad rode hard for him: “Black businesses always get this hate! Compare it to other spots, it’s fair.”
Shwashwi’s take? The prices aren’t exactly kota cheap, but for a platter feeding your whole crew, it’s not robbing you blind either. Plus, Sbu’s already dreaming of franchising by April 2026, so he’s clearly cooking up something big.
So, while DJ Sbu keeps denying he’s Mzekezeke, Mzake’s Kitchen is serving up spicy debates with its braai platters. Shwashwi’s just waiting for him to slip up and rap “Sguqa Ngamadolo” while flipping chops. Until then, Mzansi, keep your eyes on the menu.
