Lady Who Got Retrenched From Her Corporate Job In Year 2018, Starts Mobile Kitchen, Says The Business Has Become Her Bread & Butter

Lady shares how she revolved in her business after her job loss.

My name is Neliswa Mntungwa
I run a kota spot called Kota TwoNice based in Pietermaritzburg, KZN.
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 unemployed.
I started the business not knowing that it would be my bread and butter and I had nothing, no place to work from no idea where to start so I got a gazebo, small gas stove and I took to the street and sold on the side of a road outside a local clinic. I used my pots I had endlini and made my meals put of that.

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 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.
