K.O to open his first multi-purpose retail store

by Staff Bona

Ntokozo Mdluli, popularly known as the award-winning rapper K.O, will soon be opening his first multi-purpose retail store in Rosebank, Johannesburg.

Not giving too much away, the Sete hitmaker took to his social media accounts to share that the store is set to launch on 1 December.

He captioned his post, “Never run out of steam when chasing your dreams, black kings and queens. My very first multi-purpose retail store opening 1/12/23 at The Design District. 9 Keyes Avenue, Rosebank (JHB). All is possible through the Almighty! Meet you there!”

K.O received many congratulatory messages from his industry mates and supporters:

According to SA Hip Hop Mag, the store aims to create a space dedicated to music lovers and will foster an environment that celebrates the rapper’s contribution to the culture.

Previously speaking to the publication TshisaLIVE, K.O stated that the store will not necessarily cover the fashion aspect. “I’m trying to kind of create a chain store that caters for different things, whether it’s adding the food element in there, having the sneaker laundry, a smoothie bar… When you walk into the store it’s not for you to just buy clothes, but it’s also for young kids who during their lunch break will think of making a stop there.”

He continued, “It’s something really out of the box that I didn’t really think of, but once I took the plunge and went down this route, new ideas started hitting me and I can see myself opening about 10 of these stores countrywide and hopefully I will be able to take it outside the country.”
