@thebrewsterZA took to Twitter to share her story. It seems a throwback post from just a few years earlier reminded the young woman of how hopeful she used to be.
Once upon a time, the thriving business even had plans of expansion, but with the recent pandemic and heavy bans on alcohol sales, it seems the local business owner is now okay with just getting by.
She also took to condemning the government for its handling of the pandemic.
"Then covid19 happened....together with the many alcohol bans. We have not failed...the system failed us"
Social media reactions
Social media users definitely sympathised with the entrepreneur and took to sharing a few encouraging messages.

In more news about the coronavirus, Briefly News previously reported that veteran broadcaster, Robert Marawa has shared his own gruelling ordeal with the coronavirus and has warned South Africans to stay safe this winter season.
Heading to his official Twitter account, Marawa shared a lengthy post that narrated his very traumatic experience with the disease.
Robert Marawa tests positive for COVID-19
According to the post, the broadcaster took to self-isolating when he first got his positive results. Choosing not to opt for traditional medication, Marawa said he hoped the ailment would sort of cure itself.
However, he soon developed a serious case of pneumonia which eventually lead to the broadcaster being admitted to the ICU. In short, the sportscaster is currently recovering at home and has warned South African to take the virus seriously
Mzansi's reaction to the wordy post
While some social media users sympathised with the broadcaster and wished him a speedy recovery, others hilariously commented on the unnecessary wordiness of the post and bluntly refused to read it.
