Dreams come true for valet car wash cyclist
A car wash entrepreneur says he cannot believe how fast his life is changing.
A struggling car wash entrepreneur’s dreams continued to be realised when a he finally got the chance to register his business recently.
Peter Masemola (34) met with a tax practitioner who will be assisting him to register his mobile car wash business.
The driven entrepreneur who travels on his bicycle to wash cars in the east of Pretoria, said he could not believe how his life was changing.
He said he met with tax practitioner Peter Herbst, of Taxphacts consulting, about two weeks ago.
“He told me to think about what I wanted for the business,” said Masemola.
He said Herbst would assist him with most of the legal paperwork involved in registering his car wash business.
Masemola, who recently received a brand new bicycle from a bicycle shop in the east, said he could not believe the changes that were happening to him.
Life Cycles, a cycling shop in Moreleta Park, donated a bicycle to Masemola after the owner read his inspirational story in Rekord.
Masemola’s bicycle had broken down two months prior when Life Cycle shop owner Peet Venter intervened.
Venter contacted Rekord to find out more about Masemola and said he wanted to help him and the Life Cycles team gave Masemola a shining new set of wheels.
Masemola said he was speechless after the gesture.
“I’m very grateful to Mr Venter. He has believed in my dream of hiring people once my business grows, which is what I plan to do,” said Masemola.
“When I mentioned my bicycle was broken I had no idea someone would give me a new one.”
Masemola said this was the push he needed to pursue his dream of running a successful valet car wash that went to the people.
Venter lauded Masemola for his initiative to start a business.
“When I read Masemola travelled to his clients and that his bicycle was in a bad condition, I knew I had to do something,” said Venter.
“Masemola wants to change his life and anyone who does that deserves assistance.”
Venter said Masemola was welcome to bring his bicycle to his shop for repairs at any time during the month.
