SA Congratulates Lady Who Started Pizza Business Using R350 Grant: "We Love It"

• A Nothern Cape-based woman is injecting the Italian flavour but with a local twist into her community
• The woman used the R350 SASSA Social relief of distress grant she received to start a pizza business in December
• Saffas online were mostly full of praise for the initiative the woman took to turn the tide of her situation

A Northern Cape lady is proving that with the right dose of determination, even the smallest amount of money can go the distance.

Choosing a traditionally non-township cuisine, the inspiring woman, Clemmy Mohapi, who is located in Ikhutseng township south of Warrenton, is hitting all the right notes courtesy of the homely pizzas she makes.

Heading to Twitter in celebration of her delectable craft, the @KasiEconomy Twitter page shared several snaps of the ordinarily Italian flattened dough dish.

Woman uses little money she has to open own business, inspires SA

In related news to inspire Mzansi, Briefly News previously reported that Sithabile Mazibuko of Newcastle wowed Mzansi with her entrepreneurial drive and her absolutely divine ice-creams.

Pictures of her treats have South Africans drooling as they head into summer. It's not hard to see Mazibuko as an inspiration as she literally "started from the bottom" and took the steps needed to pursue her dream and rake in the cash.

Fear and doubt are expected but that didn't stop this powerhouse as she used the little resources she had to open her business.

Images of her ice-creams had social media buzzing as people flooded to the comments section on a post shared by Briefly News to show support or find out where they can get their sweet treat.
