Now that President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday, February, 28, 2021, announced that the country had emerged officially from the Second Wave of Corona Virus spread, and that  with immediate effect the country was taken back into Level 1, this has given businesses in general and entertainment businesses in particular an opportunity to operate with some level of flexibility. Entertainment businesses were the most hard hit by restrictions, especially when it came to the number of people allowed in a venue and the strict curfew rules that were put in place.

One such entertainment venue that has welcomed the relaxation of rules with enthusiasm is WaterMush Chillas Lounge Shisanyama, right in the heart of  Maboneng.

“When we opened last year, we were affected immediately by the lockdowns, but because we are visionaries and resilient, as we needed to retain jobs, we kept on operating and managed to retain jobs even as our revenue was negatively affected and we had to continue paying rent..

Now with the relaxed rules, we look forward to implementing the activations that have been  in the pipeline for some time now. In fact we are unleashing a fully packed entertainment programme at  Water Mush Chillas Lounge Shisanyama, the premium and ultimate entertainment venue in Maboneng, catering to diverse audiences with diverse tastes.

This place boasts a restaurant,  cocktail bar and  Shisanyama. We also invite those who want to host events such as birthday parties, corporate events and even baby showers to contact us, as this place is suitable for hosting quite a wide range of events, including even family outings to enjoy our soul food served by our 10 friendly waiters,” says owner local entrepreneur Owen Dube with pride.

At Water Mush Chillas Lounge Shisanyama, there are currently three exciting activations of entertainment and great food. Monday is Mogodu Monday, with patrons served sumptuous popular Mogodu dishes, Thursdays being reserved for Ladies Night, with great prizes on offer as well as free cocktails handed out  to lucky ladies during the event. Sundays are reserved for Sunday Sessions that see a DJ play laid back soul music that the people of Johannesburg are known to embrace on Sundays.

“When we opened only the restaurant and the Shisanyama were open. But  now we have a fully stocked bar that serves a wide range of beverages, from icy cold beer to a selection of cocktails. We have also employed more staff, as our establishment consists of six kitchen staff, a braai master Shakes Mpofu and 10 waiters  to meet our customers’ expectations of  good service from a top place like Water Mush Chillas Lounge Shisanyama,” says Dube in an interview with CITYLIFE/ARTS.

Water Mush Chillas Lounge Shisanyama, customers have a choice of three places to sit, an outside , covered chilling area, in the restaurant, at the bar or on the mezzanine floor upstairs, depending on one’s mood on the day.
