Local entrepreneur, Megan Potgieter (7) told her mother that she wanted to make her own money and came up with the idea of offering a bicycle washing service to the Hoedspruit community.
Over the past weekend, Megan, a grade one learner from Mariepskop Primary took on the task and washed 11 bikes.
Megan told the HOEDSPRUIT HERALD, “I want to do it to make me busy,” and noted that she intends to open a bank account that she can deposit her hard-earned money into it. She even joked with her mother that her father will have to build a safe in her room because she will have so much cash from her new business.
