In the video, the man has a table full of little sugar sachets that commonly accompany cups of tea and coffee at restaurants. He then proceeds to fill his sugar container with the sugar packets.

How students can make money on the side

There are different ways that university students can stretch their rands or make an extra income. One of these ways is to have a business that can give them additional income. Briefly News wrote about a student who studies at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Cape Town. She started a cooking business after she experienced problems with her National Student Financial Aid Scheme. Her family and friends supported her, and she started selling food at different CPUT campuses.
