Since the lockdown began on March 27, Xitsakiso Baloyi from N'wamitwa village, outside Tzaneen in Limpopo, has been offering an assortment of pizzas.

Baloyi added that within weeks, he had already stretched his service to other areas because of high demand.

"I have hired three people in Tzaneen, two in Giyani and another two in Polokwane. This is because on a busy day, we sell over 35 pizzas in Tzaneen alone. Our prices range between R30 and R200.""We have one pizza we call 'Rabbit's Famous Pizza', which is a combination of different flavours with extra yummy cheese," he said.

"Our mentality and exposure as blacks had been limited. We end up classifying other businesses as white as we know little about them. "I believe that if one can think of something, they can do it and that's the mentality I have had towards all my businesses.""My biggest challenge is lack of financial resources. I have to start a business with savings made from my side hustles. This hampers with profit and slows down the growth prospects and momentum.""I opened the pizza outlet in N'wamitwa [village] about a week now and we have been receiving orders from even far beyond the village.

Baloyi, who is doing his final year in BSc in physical and mineral resources with Unisa, said he prays a lot and wants to open five pizza outlets in different towns.
