In another story, Briefly News reported that having not entirely enjoyed the food he grew up eating, Tiyani Maluleke rolled up his sleeves and got into the kitchen, where he taught himself how to cook from the tender age of 8, making him the good cook he is today.

It was this can-do attitude that made the young man a successful entrepreneur. As the founder of GRUB WORX, a food truck that serves mouth-watering burgers in Soweto, he is making a name for himself in the local fast food industry.

The 27-year-old, who is actually a skilled mechanic by profession, spoke to Briefly News about the inspiration behind his flourishing business.
