Stepping into the multifaceted world of entrepreneurship, 24-year-old singer Nomfundo Moh Ngcobo is set to open her first restaurant, La Mar, in Spruitview, Johannesburg. The announcement comes hot on the heels of the release of her latest single, “uMusa,” featuring the acclaimed artists Msaki and Cassper Nyovest.
Expressing her excitement for this new venture, Nomfundo shared on her Instagram page that her intentions are to create job opportunities within her community. “Today, we’ve taken a significant step in providing employment opportunities for our brothers and sisters,” she exclaimed. “I’m thrilled to share that La Mar Restaurant will soon open its doors in Spruitview. All glory to God for this opportunity.”

With her infectious enthusiasm and dedication to uplifting others, Nomfundo’s venture into the restaurant business promises to be as vibrant and successful as her musical endeavours.
