Mozambik co-founder rips into Ramaphosa as restaurant industry crumbles

Durban - South African entrepreneur and co-founder of the popular Portuguese-themed restaurant chain Mozambik, Brett Michielin, has lashed out at President Cyril Ramaphosa for "annihilating an entire economic sector in record time".

The hospitality industry has been particularly hard hit by the lockdown, with scores of restaurants having to close their doors and retrench staff. The "1 Million Empty Seats on the Streets" campaign will see protesters start their picket on Wednesday. The march has been organised by the Restaurant Association of South Africa. He also extended an invite to Ramaphosa to lunch at any of Mozambik's restaurants so that he could "come and see what the lockdown regulations have done to the industry, to entrepreneurs, and to jobs. Do not take a view from an Ivory Tower, Mr.

"But we also need to provide for our staff and families. The...cost of a string of stop-start decisions and endless rhetoric is jobs, Mr. President. Many, many jobs.” He said that when it came to taxpayer-funded financial assistance for businesses, some were more equal than others.
