Beat the Monday Blues: Why "Majita Mondays" at Manifesto Lounge is the Ultimate Weekly Ritual

Mondays often get a bad rap. For most, they signal the end of the weekend and the start of the grind. But at Manifesto Lounge in Potchefstroom, Monday isn't just another day of the week, it’s a destination.

Located at 4557 Moleme St, Ikageng, Manifesto Lounge has carved out a niche for those who want to kick off their week with soul, flavor, and a sense of community. Their signature Majita Mondays event has become a local institution, blending deep house beats with the comfort of authentic South African heritage food.

A Feast for the Soul: Mala Mogodu & Skopo

While the music sets the mood, the kitchen is the heart of the operation. On Mondays, the "Manifesto Grill Kitchen" serves up traditional delicacies that are hard to find in a premium lounge setting:

• Mala Mogodu: A slow-cooked, hearty stew of tripe and intestines. It’s a dish that tastes like home, usually served tender and rich, perfect for pairing with a side of pap.

• Skopo (Sheep/Cow Head): A beloved township staple known for its rich, gelatinous texture and deep flavor. It’s a meal that demands you take your time, making it the perfect accompaniment to a long afternoon of networking and "vibing."

The Vibe: Deep House and "Majita" Energy

"Majita" is a South African slang term for "the gents," but don't let the name fool you, while the event celebrates brotherhood and male camaraderie, the atmosphere is welcoming to all who appreciate a sophisticated yet laid-back groove.

The soundtrack of the day is strictly Deep House. The melodic, bass-heavy tracks create a smooth backdrop that transforms the lounge from a weekend party spot into a refined weekday sanctuary. It’s the kind of environment where you can actually hear your friends speak, making it a prime spot for local entrepreneurs and creatives to connect.
