Youngster opens cafe in Alexandra

South Africans were proud of a 21-year-old lady, Lebone, who opened her own cafe in the township of Alexandra. These kinds of shops are rare to find in her area.

She studied the gap and brought her vision to life. Some of the goods she sells are inspired by popular coffee shops like Starbucks and Mugg & Bean.

Lebone makes dessert treats and serves coffee in transparent containers, on which she writes the customer’s name. She advertises her business on TikTok where people from surrounding areas like Soweto frequently visit from seeing her posts online.

Her food is always nearly packed, and her service is top-notch according to her customers. South Africans expressed their admiration for the young one in a thread of comments on her now-viral clip.

Lebone shared some behind-the-scenes footage of shopping for supplies and preparing some of her orders. She captioned her clip:

“Oh, how I love my work.”
