In an exclusive comment to Briefly News, Thalukanyo Mutepe says:

"I moved to Johannesburg about four years ago. At that time, I only knew the name of the street I lived on and the one where I worked.
"When I relocated, I was on a mission to find ways to save money, which included discovering stores that offered high-quality products at affordable prices.
"My motivation to search for these places stemmed from my part-time job as an interior designer. I needed to find the best quality items without breaking the bank. That's when I came across clothing stores, perfume shops, and game stores that fit the bill.
"As a result, I started creating content to help newcomers to Johannesburg who were in the same situation I was in four years ago – people looking for good-quality products that wouldn't empty their wallets."
