Thaini Masakane has started her business inside of a small room and is inspiring hundreds of people with her drive and determination for success.
Unemployment stats are at a scary high in South Africa but as a group of people, we are more resourceful than most. Small to medium-sized businesses are the backbone of our country and for most, if there are no opportunities, they go out and make opportunities.
Such is the case with Thaini Masakane. She has worked hard to become a beautician but found that once she was qualified, she couldn’t land a job. She knew she was wasting her skills by waiting and started her own small business in a “Zo-Zo”. The small tinned room doesn’t look like much from the outside but transforms into a tranquil spa on the inside.
Her humble little business, the Victory Body & Nail Studio, has become a big talking point on Social Media. People are loving her dedication to succeeding and starting her own small business.
