Popular restaurant Mugg & Bean have categorically denied they are closing down and reaffirmed to customers that they are very much open for collection and takeaways during Adjusted Level 4 restrictions.
On Sunday, 4 July fake news of the eatery closing made the rounds on social media. It was first shared by Ekurhuleni Mayor Mzwandile Masina, who tweeted that Mugg & Bean was closing its doors across the country.
Masina said: “Morning people of SA, as we are busy arguing why Zuma must be incarcerated, Mugg & Bean SA has announced its permanent closure in SA. Since the start of the pandemic, when are we going to start discussing problems that confront our people.”
Let’s not forget he is the same Mayor who confirmed the story of the decuplets.
Needless to say, the tweet has been deleted and the restaurant chain labelled it as ‘fake news’. In a Tweet they hit back stating: “We are aware of #fakenews doing the rounds. @Mugg_and_Bean is not closing. While sit down dining is not currently allowed, the majority of restaurants remain open to bring you your favourite M&B meals via delivery, collection and takeaway.”
