Hi there...
We have 2 Casbah Roadhouse branches that are referred to at this specific site but there are many of them around South Africa that are run individually.
The first branch we refer to here is the Casbah Gezina branch which is situated down Voortrekkers rd on the right hand side in Pretoria.
You cant miss the oval neon sign, especially the hoards of people on a Sunday night watching the
hotted up cars.
The second branch we refer to is the Casbah Annlin branch which is situated down
Lavender rd. When coming down Zambezi rd you would turn right into Lavender rd at the robot .
We are across the road from the Fire Station.
See ya there........................
On the 29th of January 1955, Smittys Teapot, in Brakpan, was taken over and transformed into Casbah Roadhouse by Sylvia Kongos and her brother Peter Theologo. The other brothers, Evangelo(Ponch), Russel(Lucky), Costa and Johnny soon joined them.The name "Casbah" was taken from the show Casablanca.
After gaining experience in that first family venture, the brothers went their separate ways and opened their own roadhouses.
Evangelo, or Ponch as he was known, started his roadhouse career in Brakpan, but then went on to open roadhouses in Alberton, Wemmer Pan, Johannesburg, Malvern, Benoni, Vereeniging, Krugersdorp and Port Elizabeth.
Ponch always believed in VFM. Value for money. Everything that you made for a customer you had to make as if you were making it for a friend.
Evangelo(Ponch) Theologo is known as the "King of Roadhouses".
