Mr Mozzie’s, a well-known butchery at the corner of Argyle and Stamford Hill roads in Durban, has closed after nearly six decades of trading. The store’s long-running presence has been tied by local former customers to familiar shopping routines and regular supply of meats and smoked products, including seasonal Christmas items.
People who used the business describe it as affordable and consistent, citing the price and variety of cuts available over the years. Some also point to the staff as a key part of the shop’s appeal, saying employees became regular figures in their lives beyond the counter. The reports focus on the shop’s legacy in the neighbourhood and the personal impact of its closure, rather than giving detailed reasons for shutting down or information about any replacement or reopening plan.
