Max Mqadi's rags to riches story almost ended in tragedy after the Durban businessman escaped death in an attempted assassination outside his renowned establishment in Umlazi, south of Durban, this week.

The 51-year-old owner of Max's Lifestyle, named among 207 of the best restaurants in the world in 2016, was shot by two unknown men at close range outside his establishment on Thursday evening.

Mqadi's iPhone 12 with shrapnel from a bullet as a result of the attempted assassination on his life on Thursday“He opened fire on him with a 9mm firearm. Another male suspect approached from his right side. The suspect that came from across the road, fired a number of shots at him, injuring only his arm and leg.”

Pictures of the interior of Mqadi's bloodstained Mercedes and a bullet stuck in the back of his iPhone 12 made the rounds on social media soon after the shooting — with many under the impression his life had been saved by his iPhone. Staff at Max's Lifestyle remained mum on what unfolded on the night of the shooting.“He's been involved in a lot of business dealings. It would be difficult to say who would have wanted him dead.
