The Durban restaurant where Jacob Zuma was seen — wining and dining, and posing with his former financial adviser Schabir Shaik — is not named after him. With Zuma cutting the red ribbon when the eatery opened on Friday, many assumed that the restaurant, named Zuma, was in his honour. Owner David Manal on Monday told TimesLIVE that the Zuma restaurant, next to Manal's Cafe La Plage in the upmarket Pearls Walk, was an international brand.
“Zuma restaurant is a well-known brand internationally, with more than 11 around the world. I own the trademark in SA. We are also registered as a hospitality academy and education centre where we offer education and placement in all of our branches in SA and other countries,” he said.
