Mfuleni teen Junior Dyasi started his business when he was in Grade 9.
Cape Town - Mfuleni teen Junior Dyasi has amazed his family and community by single-handedly turning his parent’s vacant garage into a booming shoe-cleaning business.The optimistic teenager said the business idea struck him in the beginning of 2019, on an errand in town where he noticed just how dirty and damaged people’s shoes were.
The Grade 11 pupil at Mfuleni Secondary School said the business journey was not an easy one, and included fallouts with previous business partners.Dyasi described the owner of Sneaker Spa, Siya Gocini, as his older brother, mentor and business adviser. “With the little experience and knowledge that I had, I taught him the basics of how to apply cleaning products to shoes and how to use them for the best results.”
