A child with the handle @Sikaofficial1 has taken to Twitter to advertise his mum's roasted plantain business without shame. In a tweet on Monday, January 18, the young man called for wide patronage as he shared photos showing his mum sitting beside her wares.
As it is customary with such a business, the woman combines her main product with groundnuts. What, however, amazed tweeps was that she was also putting on her face mask.
The son also shared a short video showing the deliciously-looking plantain as they are being roasted on the braai.

As at the time of writing this report, people have shown the woman much love with the post having over 17,000 likes.
