Treasure's full post read:
"Seven years ago I started a restaurant selling food under the trees in my home town #Mkhondo. It was very uncomfortable because the society where you live in would expect you to get a "proper" job after graduating from a university. But what are you supposed to do when you are unemployed?
"Over the years I have noticed that in South Africa we need more businesses than employment. Simple question: Where are we supposed to be employed if we don't start businesses? In less than 3 months I will be relaunching my restaurant, coupled with a Lounge, and more than 30 unemployed people will be employed including accountants, chefs, administrators etc.
"If I didn't start selling food under the trees seven years ago, would there be such opportunities? Let's start and keep #staying."
