Mzansi reacts to mom outing son for shady business

Nqobile’s son was making easy money without having to invest anything in his business. The young man exchanged his home WiFi password for some cash. His mom was unaware of the shady business running successfully under her nose.

Briefly News reached out to another mom, Vera, who spoke about her son’s old ways of making cash:

“In the summertime, he would rent out his bike for R5 per 30 minutes. He was the only one with a bicycle in the area, and he saw that the other children wanted to ride so badly. He got tired of lending his bike freely and started charging them. The business worked well for him until his bicycle broke down after a while.”
