He inspired us with his music and the way he believed anything is possible. Mandoza was not just a music artist to us, he was inspiration. Whoever was born in that era of the greatest kwaito artist who…lets be real…inspired Gazza and the The Dogg should come and help us say goodbye to one of the greatest. We are a small business busy to become something thus the name 30 something and we love fun and warm hearted party people. Please know that we take pride in security, privacy and respect. So with that said come over and have fun while we say goodbye to Mandoza.
