Many celebrities have made names for themselves working in several fields, including the food industry.
You can find them on the big screen, the small screen, and pretty much everywhere else in between. While some opt to model, sing, act, or start their fashion lines, others invest in their own restaurants.
The latest South African celebrity that recently opened his own restaurant is Ashley Raphala, who is famously known as DJ Shimza.
Raphala opened a beautiful restaurant called The Hang Awt which is situated in Tembisa north of Kempton Park on the East Rand in Gauteng, where he was born.
Last week, Raphala took to Twitter to announce the opening of the new spot.
“Opening my new business today it’s called Hang Awt 1632 and it’s in Tembisa. A hang out spot with good food and drinks,” read the post.
