The accomplished businessman comes from a humble beginning. He was raised in a poor family, and he spent most part of his life in his hometown, Ulmazi.<\/p>\n<p>Mqadi is a high school dropout. He stopped schooling in grade 11 as his parents could no longer afford to train him in school. He started selling fruits in trains to make ends meet and also support his family.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After trying his hands on so many businesses, Mqadi, in 2000, started <\/span>Max\u2019s Lifestyle Village as just a butchery and \u201cshisa nyama\u201d place (a Zulu term used to describe the cooking and serving of charred cooked meat at &#8216;buy-and-braai&#8217; chillout areas that are typically found in South African townships).<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant was just a one-room shack near a stream when he started the business. It was located in front of a taxi rank then. The taxi ranks were later moved to a new location by the municipality, and Max saw the move as an opportunity to expand his business.<\/p>\n<p>He made use of the vacant space as a parking lot for his customers and also built a small liquor store next to the eatery following an increase in demand for liquor. Mqadi eventually started upgrading and revamping the restaurant in 2009 with the aim of turning it into one of the best hospitality brands in the country.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who are Max Mqadi\u2019s Wife and Kids?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For years, Max Mqadi has successfully concealed details about his private life.
