Business has taken a dip for the owner of what was one of the busiest hangouts and food catering joints in Durban, Casablanca Lifestyle in Molweni.

One part of Xulu's business remains closed due to the ban on alcohol sales under level 4 of the lockdown.

“I have not made any orders yet. It might take a bit of some time before things take off because we just got back after closing for almost two months,” he said. “I've been doing this since 2010 and it's really heartbreaking. We've had to cancel all our events that we normally host during this time. For us not to be able to host our annual events, and also not being open to rent out our venue for other people's events, has been very heartbreaking.”

“During these economic hard times, we've been able to adjust and forge a way forward. We've also contacted our suppliers whom we have contracts with and we've come up with payment plans,” he said.
