Lekgwathi is grateful for the support he received from the public after his restaurant was looted in July.
The 44-year-old managed to raise money to get the popular restaurant back up and running through donations from the public and business people.“People showed me support and love. Others were donating R10,000, R5,000, R2,000, and so on. It was unbelievable for me to look at the money in that account.Grootman, which used to operate in Kliptown, Soweto, was reopened in Southdale, southern Johannesburg, on Friday with a lot of soccer and television stars in attendance.
Lekgwathi’s business partner Reza Amod said: “After we got looted, there was such a big outcry from the public saying that they want to assist us to reopen. Weed there was more support from the community coming from there. “We do a lot of work through the Lucky Lekgwathi Foundation in our community and they all stepped up to assist us. The support in the south where we live was quite huge. Another reason for our relocation was that we wanted to come back bigger and stronger. We then needed a bigger space where we would have a bigger kitchen and sitting area,” he said.
In July, Lekgwathi told Sowetan how the savings he had made as a soccer player went up in smoke when the looters raided the restaurant. It was one of many businesses that were forced to close in the looting spree which shook Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
Way to go broo..we can't sit down and cry,but rest assured,God is always in the midst watching and listening 🙏
