“I realised that many motorists get stuck in the road because of tyre problems and some travel without a jack. I am happy about the support I receive from the people from Seshego.
This job is about more than just fixing punctures. I know all my customers will be waiting for me at my business. I also do house call. I also have my regular customers,” he said.
