Durban’s Mojo’s heads to the Golden Mile in major beachfront move

Durban's Golden Mile is set to welcome another hospitality addition as local brand Mojo’s prepares to expand its presence to the beachfront. The company, known for its Mojo’s Carwash & Shisanyama, has been awarded a nine-year lease to operate at 17 Erskine Terrace, marking a significant step in its growth journey. Mojo’s began in Chesterville as a modest car-wash, evolving into a renowned establishment celebrated for its blend of food, entertainment, and social experiences.

Its relocation to South Beach signifies a new chapter for the Durban-born brand, joining the city's vibrant tourism and leisure scene. Beachgoers, residents, and visitors can anticipate another option among the Golden Mile's growing range of entertainment offerings. However, specifics about the new concept, investment, job creation, and opening date remain undisclosed.

The decision follows an open bidding process initiated by the municipality in November 2023, which ended with the dismissal of an unsuccessful bidder's appeal. The appeal was dismissed, and the original decision upheld. The withdrawal of the appeal has cleared the path for the lease award to be implemented, signaling the beginning of Mojo’s beachfront chapter.

This expansion is part of the municipality's broader strategy to attract private investment and rejuvenate Durban's beachfront, alongside other significant developments.
