Sizzling way to make ends meet
Idris has come up with an ingenious way to earn a living.
POLOKWANE – You need to be street smart to make ends meet in these tough economic times.
One person who took this saying to heart is 25-year-old Joseph Idrisa from Malawi, who sells cooked chicken gizzards on the streets of the city to earn a living.
He said he came to South Africa in 2015 from Malawi in search of a better life.
“There is no money in Malawi so there is no way of making a living for myself which is why I decided to come to South Africa in hope of building a better future for myself than what was possible in my home country,” he explained.
However, it has not all been sunshine and roses for him but he manages to live above the poverty line with his business.
He said business is slow during the first few months of the year but he still manages to make enough money to support himself, if only just.
“I would love to be employed as a driver, unfortunately an expired driver’s licence is keeping me from this dream. In the meantime, I will continue selling chicken gizzards to support myself and build on my dream,” he said.
Residents can give his delicious food a try as he is centrally located in Church Street next to the busy Limpopo Mall.
