Saucy Boys Restaurant is a fast-food joint in Ga-Rankuwa, Pretoria, that started off as a joke in a Facebook post, today it has grown into an establishment that allows drive-by collections, deliveries, and sit-ins.

Saucy Boys Restaurant is a drive-by fast food restaurant that sells kotas on the go.

The restaurant, which was established by Kutlwano Mbele and his brother Katlego Ingwane in 2021, began as nothing more than a simple joke. Mbele simply made breakfast for the pair and posted a photo of the meal on Facebook – he did not expect the reaction he received. The duo used money from their clothing brand business, Ska Ti Nyatsa Jeans, to buy what was needed to start Saucy Boys Restaurant. The company sells merchandise such as T-shirts, hoodies, and sweaters. This was followed by the first kota they made last year in October, which got a lot of traction on social media. Mbele and his brother then decided to add more items to the menu, including burgers, fish and chips, wraps, and more.

In order to have enough capacity to meet demand, Mbele and his brother have employed two additional people from the neighbourhood.According to Mbele, he and his brother weren't that close when they were younger. The pair only strengthened their relationship when Mbele returned home after dropping out of varsity. His brother was in business at the time.

During his final year at varsity, he sold secondhand textbooks to help buy necessities for himself since his parents could not afford to.
