The struggle and triumph

After losing both cars and his job, he endured six months of early morning bus commutes before securing a new job.

Despite VW Polos being among South Africa's most targeted vehicles - accounting for 8.6% of reported car thefts nationwide - @mandilakhe_ngeni remained focused on his goal, saving diligently from his new job to replace his stolen vehicle instead of opting for a different model.

Farook Mohammed recently spoke to Briefly News on unexpected expenses. He stated:

"Consider setting aside small amounts of funds to save or to create items to sell, like cookies, samoosas, or pies—anything you can do to start an extra side hustle. It's effort that turns challenges into opportunities."

Mzansi's words of encouragement

@iamnkszn_onnie quoted scripture:

"1 Peter 5:10 says 'And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong.' Amen 🙏 🥺❤️"
