He built the first shops which still exist in the township and the once popular Madibakwena Liquor Store.

“One Time's” great-grandson, credited for making this initiative possible, Lehlogonolo Letsoalo who founded the popularly A Ga Sechaba Community Projects in Ga-Rankuwa, said the old man came to visit him in his dreams for 11 years but it took him a while to understand what he wanted.

"Being a great man that he was, he arrived here and started an empire from scratch to end up as a black man who was driving and selling cars at an auction in 1910 when black men could not do those things. "We are talking about a great man here. Where there is now a Sasol filling station in Mawunde Street used to be his filling station. A black man brought that to his people in the township. We are proud to be his descendants. A special thank you to one of his great-great-great-grandson Khutso Letsoalo, 23 who used this new technology to put this together for us. He even took the only photo of Letsoalo that still exists and made a digital copy for us.
