Maps Maponyane Shuts Down Buns Out
Despite receiving the honour of being called one of the best burgers in the world, Maps Maponyane has made the tough decision to shut down his eatery Buns Out indefinitely… This amidst the global pandemic of COVID-19 forcing many to stay indoors and many businesses to shut it’s doors too.
And now with lockdown looming, all non-essential services are expected to be shut down for that period, greatly impacting the livelihood of small and medium business owners. The celebrity and entrepreneur made the sad announcement on social media to the disappointment of all his fans and followers.
He tweeted; “After trying to stretch out any kind of production including deliveries, in order to still keep our staff employed & customers happy, we’ve decided to indefinitely close Buns Out. We don’t know how long it will be or if we’ll survive this period, but it’s the right thing to do.
Maps went on to state that his first priority was always safety. It’s tough as a new small business, but at the end of the day we need to keep everyone safe, & staying operating in any kind of way would completely go against this.

While South Africans are trying to find ways on how to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, rapper Riky Rick believes some positives will come out of the pandemic. As most of the country is social distancing in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus, Riky thinks people needed to use this time to organise their lives and re-evaluate their lifestyles.
This will most probably be the most difficult year for most of us, but something tells me goods things will come if we use these times to organise our lives and re-evaluate our lifestyles. Financially and spiritually … a lot of work to do. Speaking to TshisaLIVE ahead of his Cotton Fest earlier this year, Riky said he plans to be more selective about where he performs going forward.
