"It was a personal project, something that Mohale wanted to do for a long time, even before his relationship. He wanted to open his own restaurant. But we all know the restaurant business is not as glamorous as it seems on the outside."

Why did Mohale shut down his business?

Mohale allegedly struggled to keep Fusion Cocktail Lounge's doors open because of various factors. A former employee said although they had hosted some of the famous stars in Mzansi, it was difficult to run the place.

The source said there were times when Mohale struggled to pay the rent, and he was locked outside. In addition to the rent, the staff was not paid on time, the stock was not booked in time, and there was another popular joint close by and people preferred going there than to Fusion Cocktail Lounge.
