Make your own job, says Moloko
This father of two sons, he also want to help in job creation when sees his business in full gear.
Miami Hair and Beauty Salon owner Mr Solomon Moloko opted to open his own business in November last year after he lost his job.
The Maokeng entrepreneur, who studied electrical engineering, said he has a passion for business and has always wanted to work for himself.
“Unemployment is very high and the only way to make it in life is to start working for yourself and grow in business. I’ve got lots of ideas about small businesses that I can pursue but I need to make sure that my salon is well sustained before venturing into other business plans,” added Mr Moloko.
“After my job expired, I felt it was time to do something for myself and grow in business. However, it was not easy to get a right place of high visibility where my targeted customers would be able to reach the salon. And again, I had to work hard in planning the salon for my customers to feel comfortable and make it a place they want to visit,” said Mr Moloko.
This father of two sons also wants to help in job creation once his business in full gear.
He has currently employed one person to attend to customers and is also hoping to employ a manicurist who will help with manicures, pedicures, polish and sculptured nail services.
Mr Moloko urges unemployed people to think positively and to create their own small businesses instead of whining about unemployment.
He further encourages young people to go to school and avoid alcohol, drugs and crime.
