The bun fight between a local food truck company and RocoMamas has been resolved, however, there’s been another twist in the tale. As reported by IOL,  a positive meeting was held between both parties on Tuesday, April 20. It is alleged that the fast food chain granted Chef and owner of Rack ’n Grill,  Mohammed Kasu, permission to use its trademark “Smash Burger” name on his menu.

This comes after Kasu was slapped with a lawyer’s letter from the burger franchise on Wednesday, April 14, demanding him to stop using the name. It is alleged that RocoMamas are the registered proprietor of the “Smashburger” in South Africa. Meanwhile, Kasu has rejected a recent statement from RocoMamas saying it was published without his approval, Daily Voice reports.

It is alleged that Kasu opened the Rack ‘n Grill in December on Plein Street, just metres from a RocoMamas branch, before they started operating. However, the Mandalay chef is standing his ground against the fast food giant’s bullying tactics.

Several social media users have also expressed their opinion by saying they refuse to visit any RocoMomas branch or any other franchise that is part of the Spur Group.
