When Colin Mkhosi was tired of commercial non-delivery in Langa his solution was to make an opportunity out of it, providing a platform to uplift himself as well as others. “I am a young person who is passionate about creating projects that add value to my community.”
At the back end of 2019 with his law studies overwhelming and being unable to even spend a couple of minutes going to the shops, an idea came to him. Colin put together his plan, and with a donation of some second hand bicycles and a collection of young men he began the process of creating something special … Cloudy Deliveries.
Cloudy Deliveries is a delivery service which provides, for now, the 3km² area of Langa and its 80 000 residents on 11 bicycles. The team of boys manually collect money from their customers; they then go off and collect whatever is needed, from restaurant meals to groceries and books, returning with change, less the R9 fee that they charge per local delivery.
In todays podcast, Colin explains how he created Cloudy Deliveries and we chat about hte importance of entrepreneurship in South Africa. Colin is a remarkable young man, if you have any way of assisting him in his ventures, please find him on instagram @cloudy_deliveries.
