This inspirational book chronicles the journey of entrepreneur Rita Zwane who left home as a teenage mother after matriculating from high school. She left her family in Umlazi, Kwa-Zulu Natal to seek greener pastures in Johannesburg. From odd jobs to selling food in a shipping container that would subsequently translate into Tembisa’s most successful restaurant – Busy Corner Imbizo Shisanyama.
She breaks down the struggles she had to overcome with her faith as a Christian and cultured Zulu woman. The idea of having a traditional Zulu cuisine at her disposal, anytime, inspired the menu that is now a part of Busy Corner Imbizo Shisanyama.
This book is definitely a must-read for any township dweller who is curious about penetrating the economy of these often neglected informal settlements.
