When Pikitup stopped replacing bins for free, it created a new business in Soweto. But the lockdown regulations are strangling it.

The introduction of wheelie bins in Soweto did not only mean the end of the zinc bins; it brought with it a source of income for many unemployed people.

This made wheelie bins a precious possession. The cleaning service not only ensures the wheelie bins are clean, it also guarantees they will not be damaged or stolen from the street.Once washed, the bin cleaners return the bins safely to the owners’ yards. But some family members discouraged her from going into the business. “My sister said ‘abantu bazothi ngiyalamba [people will say your are poor]’.”

Phatsima went home and prayed and asked God to help get her business off the ground. The following day, after praying, she went knocking again. She got three more nods.More people started approaching her to wash their bins when they saw her in action. Her business grew.
