A young entrepreneur from eMthatha has taken the street food industry by storm with her innovative approach to selling *ikota* (a popular South African street food). Instead of following the conventional route of operating a roadside stall, she has elevated her business by presenting herself in a professional manner, which has not only attracted customers but also created a buzz in her community.
Every day, she dresses as if she is heading to a corporate office, donning well-tailored business attire while managing her food stand on the side of the road. This unexpected and clever marketing strategy has garnered widespread attention and admiration from locals and passersby. Her ability to merge professionalism with a humble street food business has turned heads, prompting many to stop and purchase from her.
