Woman starts successful business after having to close down takeaway
In a similar story, Briefly News reported that Ncumisa Miesah Mkabile shared her inspiring story of making it through the pandemic. Ncumisa had to close down her takeaway business, which was her only source of income, but this did not stop her from working hard.
The 27-year-old started selling chicken and going door to door to do her deliveries.
After realising there was a demand for supplies from others who wanted to start their own business, Ncumisa jumped at the gap in the market. In late May 2020, Ncumisa got her hands on some land where she planted 20 000 spinach seeds.
She got more land a few months later where she planted 20 000 green pepper seeds and now supplies huge supermarkets.
