The University of Johannesburg graduate started a business producing and selling ginger beer, using her late grandmother’s secret recipe, nearly two months ago.
Tshabalala said she was forced to think outside the box when she failed to secure a job despite earning a BCom degree in economics last year.She founded a business selling knitwear, TheWoolie Ltd, in 2017. The money she makes from the business is helping her further her studies for a BCom degree in commerce and accountancy.
Explaining where the inspiration for her business originated, Ngesman said, “I met women from Alexandra township at the wool shop when I was buying wool to learn how to crochet and that’s where our story began.”Tshabalala produces her “Mshengu’s ginger beer” at her Lenasia home. It is produced using natural ingredients including ginger which is said to have a number of health benefits.
She said her mother eventually passed on the recipe to her due to an increase in the number of requests for the beer. She used all her savings to purchase supplies to make the beer. Two months into the business, she described the journey as both amazing and challenging.
