Named “The Shack” because of its unique container structure, the restaurant offers more than just delicious food to its customers.“I saw an opportunity to offer flame-grilled chicken in a formal way because we do a lot of chicken in the township but it’s always informal. We have things like chicken dust that is sold on the side of the road and I feel like the only formal chicken we find in the Orange Farm township is always southern fried chicken and I wanted to offer an alternative.
And now that Lamani’s business, which she opened in August 2022 has found its feet in the market, she is in the process of building an express supermarket that will sell convenient items to her customers.“For any entrepreneur you need to spread your business out because firstly it makes better financial sense and secondly it will allow me to employ more people in addition to the eight permanent staff members that I already have.
“I hit a lot of brick walls with people saying no to me, but because of passion I kept going,” she said, adding that funding was a major challenge she faced.“The biggest challenge for me was finances because I started with nothing. Before that my husband and I had ventured into buying into supermarkets and petrol stations but that did not go well, and we lost everything we had. So, getting funding was a challenge and banks were not interested in assisting me because I had no security.
