4. Kabelo Majatjabothata & New Food Joint
Kabelo is a dynamic entrepreneur whose business has soared since we last visited. At his refurbished shop, he serves delicious township-style sandwiches—known locally as kota—paired with a fridge full of cold drinks.
When you walk in, the aroma is like food heaven, and there’s a vibrant energy as young boys gather to enjoy the PlayStation setup while they wait. Since the program ended, Kabelo has poured his heart into refurbishing the shop—painting, fixing up, and creating a welcoming atmosphere that keeps customers coming back.
Kabelo's business has grown drastically thanks to the word-of-mouth recommendations from repeating clients, and we were lucky to catch him between his busy hours—his sales have more than doubled! Kabelo is now full of strategic ideas, from new promotions to smart business decisions guiding his next steps.
With a booming business and a growing reputation, Kabelo is truly on the rise.
