She tweeted “My name is Neliswa Mntungwa and I run a kota spot called ‘Kota Two Nice’ based in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. In 2018 I was retrenched from a job I had been in for over 7 years of my life. I went from a corporate office space to being completely unemployed.

I started a business not knowing that it would be my bread and butter, I had nothing, no place to work from no idea where to start so I got a Gazebo, small gas stove and I took it to the street and sold on the side of a road outside a local clinic. I used my pots I had at my house and made my meals in them.

I didn’t know what I was doing but I had to persist. I taught myself how to make different meals. Everyday I’d teach myself something new, about food, about business. Today, I have a mobile kitchen that I do events with and I have a sit down store I can call my own.

Point is, start with what you have, it’s hard so you need to have thick skin. We learn and grow everyday. Keep pushing.”
