“We used to trend on Twitter and Instagram because we used to date for money. I got to a point where I realised that the Instagram and slay queen life is fake, and I can't live a life impressing men and getting money from married men,” she said.

“I also thought of finding better ways to spend my money instead of blowing R100K on Gucci and designer clothing.”

Punkie started her business with just R100,000. She used the money to build one backroom apartment. The apartment made enough money for her to create more rooms, and she eventually expanded to two apartment blocks and a guest house in Soshanguve.

She overcomes challenges daily

Starting a business comes with challenges that she has to face. One of these was having to get tenants. Being the hustler she was, she made a plan.

“I saw how difficult it was for me to get customers, so I used my Instagram and my reputation as an influencer, and people started renting my rooms because I was a famous Instagram influencer,” she said.
