“I am using a small oven. I invested from my accounting firm. I have to be truly honest, I started very small.

Fikile is set on creating the best life for her son through her various endeavours:

“I am really praying and hoping the business becomes a franchise. I really do not want to get excited over the trend on the socials, or for it to get to my head.
“I want the business to grow and still have impact with or without the noise from the socials. My son relies on it, and I also rely on it. Currently, I am still building.”
