An inspiring video surfaced online, highlighting a young student's impressive hustle within his university residential accommodation.
The clip shared by @andile28magaye on TikTok garnered widespread attention, with many viewers praising his entrepreneurial spirit.
The student, user @andile28magaye, was filmed diligently preparing his homemade fries, showcasing a simple yet effective business model. The video began with him skillfully peeling a large bowl of potatoes, a clear sign of the hard work that goes into his operation. After the potatoes were ready, he moved to his small fryer, where he had a pot of boiling oil ready to go. He tested the oil with a few chips to ensure it was the right temperature before dropping in the rest of the batch.

"Great job, I also sell kotas and chips. Please don't switch on the stove while preparing ur potatoes. Always put in cold oil and I'll see how beautiful ur chips will come out. Use a bowl to spice ur chips so the chips can be perfectly spiced, and you'll also save your spice. Good luck on ur business."

"There’s a boy at res who sells nice ice cream. I take out R500 from my groceries and give it to him. I eat three ice creams a day now, he’s been having delays with his suppliers, and I feel like I’m losing my mind 😭."
