Mavis Maluleka decided she might venture into entrepreneurship, even though she only received R350 monthly from her government grant. The determined young woman put together what little she had and started selling muffins at R10 a pop in her own community.
Today, her small investment has paid off as she now makes R400 on an average day. The hustler is definitely proving no matter your circumstances, hard work can always affect positive change.
Mzansi was definitely inspired by the change-maker. Check out some of their comments below:

"My R350 was safe during hard lockdown when booze was closed. Once they opened everything, alcohol became my coping mechanism."
Keitumetse Mahlangu commented:
"Big up Mavis, super proud of you. You made things happen with the little you had. May God bless your hustle my sister"

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported a Nigerian man identified as Pius Agafie has disclosed that he applied for over 300 jobs from 2020 to July 2021 and got rejected by some of them.
According to Pius, who made the disclosure on LinkedIn, he got 15 invitations for interviews but four out of them refused to employ him because he told them he applied via LinkedIn when he was asked if he applied through someone.
Pius has stopped applying for jobs and he is now focusing on his handiwork as an electrical technician. He shared photos of his works and stated that he is good at what he does. In his words:
"l do conduit wiring, surface wiring, troubleshooting electrical faults, electrical maintenance, CCTV installations."
He advised people to learn a skill, adding that handiwork pays.
LinkedIn users were impressed with the young man's story and soon flooded the comment section to share their thoughts on it.

"Very nice one. This is the best thing you can do for yourself. Never be comfortable working for any company. No company wants to employ anyone to make him rich."
