For almost ten years, Sbusiso Leope, better known as DJ Sbu, has been developing the Mo Faya brand. He transitioned from advertising on our televisions and radios to traveling the country and selling his energy drink from the booth of his car. The success of Mo Faya has allowed the DJ to demonstrate that hard work does, in fact, pay off. It was clear that he was a man on a mission and had a vision for his brand.

The DJ shared a picture of a garbage collector that was taken on Johannesburg’s streets. The man was seen with several cans draped over him, making him look like a Christmas tree. The fact that he was wearing the Mofaya cans as his crown stood out in the photograph. He wrote a very moving caption for the picture of the unidentified man. He claimed that the image made him cry because it reminded him of his beginnings as a small-time brand builder.

After asking the public for assistance in finding the garbage can collector for more than a month, the 44-year-old eventually had a breakthrough when he discovered the man in Johannesburg. Sbu shared a video of his encounter with the mysterious man, whom he encountered in the streets of Johannesburg at his normal location. When Sbu asked if he knew who he was, he quickly replied “no,” but added that he loved the Mo Faya beverage. This time, he was only carrying Mo Faya cans.

Sbu thanks the man for supporting his brand by giving him R50 at the conclusion of the video. Many of his followers felt that R50 was insignificant coming from a businessman, thus this did not set well with them. Some others even went so far as to claim that the radio DJ should not have been so unkind and unappreciative in this video.
