Elsewhere, Briefly News previously reported that Ongama Molo inspired others for coming up with a brilliant idea as he runs his mobile spaza shop for his clients.

The ambitious man decided to start his business and runs it in a shack but he is also mobile and moves around the township. He pulls his spaza shop cart using his car to ensure he brings the much-needed service to his clients.

South Africans were delighted for him and are praising his creativity after the ambitious man's story was highlighted by Black Spaza Shop Owners through a Facebook page.
