When hard work pays off

Next door was her second business, Hydro Water, where they provide filtered water for drinking. The operator there is a woman named Fezeka, and the entrepreneur noted that she sometimes rotates her staff between the businesses. She further explained that she launched the water business after she realised that a previous pet shop was not making money. She added that she wanted to make a bit of money for the water usage between her takkie shop and laundry.

An interesting part of the tour was when she showed how dirty the water filter was after filtering tap water for three weeks, advising people to be careful of tap water. The third business, also next to the other two, is Linen and Mocha, a laundry and a coffee shop merged together. She explained that you can get light meals and print documents at the place. She then got a smoothie and went on to show the laundry at the back.
