Mzoli's^{[note 1]} was a butchery in Gugulethu, a township on the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa.^[4] Since Mzoli's opened in early 2003, the restaurant had become a popular gathering spot for Cape Town residents and a tourist attraction.^[5] Amongst Gugulethu's residents, Mzoli's Place has a reputation for public drunkenness and disrespect for the local community.^[6] Mzoli's is named after the founder and owner, Mzoli Ngcawuzele.^[7] The restaurant closed indefinitely in May 2021 partly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[8]
