Mzansi shows love to small business owner
Entrepreneurship is not a walk in the park, but many young people choose to take this route because of the capacity of the lifestyle they aspire to live one day. For some, becoming an entrepreneur is just something that made more sense than working a 9-to-5 job.

The lady is proud to be a beauty vendor and offers masterclasses for anyone willing to join the business. She shared her inspirational clip with the caption:
"POV: You used your allowance to start your own lipgloss business, and you're now a lipgloss vendor who's based in SA and Zim.
"Want to start the lipgloss business? I got you… You can order at wholesale price and resell as your own brand. My first-ever lipgloss-making masterclass will be held in September. The date and more information will be announced. For now, please buy from me."

Briefly News reached out to a self-taught hair braider and hairstylist, Gcobisa Ciko, on how she was able to build her beauty business from the ground up:
“I was about 14 -years old when I started the hair business, that was around 2013. I used to help out my neighbour, a professional hair braider. It took me three months to do the job neatly, and then I started taking on clients. My friends were my first clients, and then they advertised my work for me. Braiding was more of a hobby or side hustle back then because I was still in school, so I didn’t focus much on it. The challenge I had in this industry was dealing with difficult clients, and as you know, clients are always right. However, other than that, I’ve had a smooth journey.”
Social media users were in awe of the business owner's success and determination:
@mel felt regretful:
"The way I regretted not starting something in varsity with my allowance back then, yhuuu."
@BawssladyChichie Official sent well wishes:
"Oh nana, may God bless your hustle, will definitely buy this."
@Salome ~wished the business owner well:
"I declare all the good things upon your life, ma. Well done."
@Lebitho Pitso loved what she saw and made sure to never miss out:
"You have gained yourself a new follower."
