'I was surprised when friends and family started calling me.'

He was humbled having his story mentioned in the president's address and hopes it will inspire other young people to find a way to start their own businesses with the R350 grant.

“I still stay at home and we have been relying on my mom’s social grant for survival, so I don’t have that many expenses. I negotiated with my family and let them know that I will be saving my R350 for a business I want to start so they shouldn’t expect any contributions from me.”After two months of saving he returned to that interesting ice cream spotted on Pinterest and thought it was time to make his project a reality.

“No events were taking place so people didn’t need my services and one thing I saw is that I need to start a business that people would need, no matter what happens.” “I’ve known Mohale for a while and sometimes he uses my services as his photographer, so after creating my first ice cream I invited him to come to taste it. He posted a photo of himself with the ice cream on social media to thousands of his followers. The rest is history.”
