The launch of Moltiva restaurant hosted some of Mzansi’s most loved personalities at a Stella Artois infused experienced. TV Producer and Businessman Thapelo Mokoena and his partners Milan, The Kambulas & Mix FM saw an opportunity offered by the COVID-19 pandemic to build a contemporary establishment for those who seek an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and those who want to embark on a taste experience like no other.

“The idea for Moltiva was birthed from creating experiences for people traveling in and around Joburg. The lockdown restrictions left us with a new found need to seek and explore our surroundings for an escape from life as we now know it and just seek for more meaningful experience and this is what we aim to offer at Moltiva – an experience like no other for the entire family. This is not just a restaurant, it’s a destination.”
