"I used to do this so that I can get money for data and Kota during my time in Tembisa because my dad refused to “spoil” me to such an extent according to him. PET bottles have money, at my street, they used to keep them for me instead of putting them in the dustbins."

"You are speaking from a point of privilege. Sit down. Businesses start small, no matter what type of business it is. "Mediocre" is your lever thinking. Besides she's doing something other than sitting at home waiting for the bread to land from the sky. Sis man, you are embarrassing."
