He accepted the nickname and when he had to start an Instagram page for himself, he gave it the name, 'the suit guy.' He posted pictures of himself in various designs of suits regularly until one day a follower mistook his handle for a business page and decided to hit him up for a suit.

Recognising the opportunity in that, he decided to start a suit business. Ekow revealed he eventually had to quit the new job he had just landed three months ago for his business.

The young man said, he started his job with just R752.

"Social media specifically Twitter and Instagram has been the main means of marketing my business," he said
