Founded in 1995, what started out as a small pub for the people inside of the Marakele Estate, Khaya Kwa has since grown into a full-scale restaurant with an extensive menu including firm family favourites, a range of grilled options, surf and turf, and sushi.
“We are situated in the beautiful city of Thabazimbi in the Limpopo Province, and based just opposite the Marakele National Park. This is where you find your peace – in the bushveld with all the animals and special things that you don’t get in the city,” says Sandra Jansen, Capitec client and owner of Khaya Kwa.
COVID-19 has of course proved to be a challenge for this restaurant that also serves the local tourist clientele, but thanks to a strong support network and determined team of individuals, they’ve managed to keep pushing through.
“COVID has been really hard. We have loyal customers that know what we went through. Those people came here at the end of the month when there was no money, even if it was just for a drink to support us. My community and my staff are the reason that we are still open,” shares Sandra.
