A Golden Boy's Time in Delhi, Resourceful Budding Entrepreneurs, And 'On The FGM Ts Sales Front - Part 8'.

* A nice touch from South Africa's golden boy - Cameron van der Burgh - at the Commonwealth games that are currently being held in India.After winning gold in the 100 meter breastroke swimming event he raised his two hands to display the phrase - 'KE NAKO'.This phrase means 'IT'S TIME' in the Sesotho langauge.
And ofcourse this phrase was used as FIFA's slogan during the recent football World Cup held here in South Africa.
As to why Cameron had it written inside the palms of his two hands we can only speculate.We are going to give it our best shot:

a) KE NAKO for Cameron to win some gold.
or
b) IT'S TIME for South Africa to top the medals count in these games.
or
c) KE NAKO for Africa - as represented by South Africa,amongst others -
to really do well at these games.
or
d) All of the above.

"Nice one Cameron."


* A neighbourhood barber - Rashido - showing some enterprise in setting up his hair cutting place.
Instead of looking for a place to rent to house his business,Rashido simply erected a tent-like structure and had it attached to a church fence.For electricity to power his hair cutting machines he uses a portable electricity generating 'thingi' that runs on this big battery.
A chair or two inside this tent completes his shop.
My man here has no rent worries.And because he is cheap at R10 a haircut('chiskop'),business is brisk.But be warned,his haircut has no frills.After cutting your hair there is nothing like washing your head with a nice smelling shampoo etc etc,like they do at a hair salon.But for R15 saving - 'ekasi' hair salons can charge as much as R25 for a 'chiskop' - I can happily do this head-washing myself when I get home.
To all the Rashidos who have no excuses for not 'getting on with it':'big up' to you guys.


* ON THE FGM TS SALES FRONT - PART 8

On this daily beat of pushing FGM Ts in my 'kasi',I am getting to be friends with my fellow hawkers.
There are the vegetable guys - bo-Msoja.These are the guys who load a trolley with vegetables and push it around the neighbourhood.As they move around they constantly blow this trumpet-like whistle to alert residents of their passing by.
With my 'smaller-nyana' sling bag containing 3 to 4 t-shirts,I still have it relatively easy compared with these guys pushing laden trolleys.These guys work hard.

Then you have guys like bo-Freddy.He makes hand made Afro-themed artefacts.You will find Freddy with a table full of his wares next to the local Pick'n Pay entrance on some days.
Also, there are bo-Joshua,who sells hand-crafted lady earrings door to door.

Each time we 'bump' into each other we share our respective selling experiences.Most importantly,we encourage each other.
