Dladla Mshunqisi further shared that he is venturing into the food business for an extra source of income, as music alone won't sustain him because of the lack of bookings:

"As creatives, we do not always get bookings. Hence, it is important to have other income streams; we sell traditional food, fries, hamburgers, etc. The first Mshunqo Bites was at Game City in Morningside; now I'm happy that we've moved to a permanent spot in Greyville."
