Tokollo Manyashi from GaMashashane Ngopane is the Creative and proud founder of TK Sisonke Kitchen that makes great moves from the same kitchen.
TK Sisonke Kitchen is based in Mandela village, just in front of MFS gas station.
"My love for food and entrepreneurship started when I would prepare various meals from different ingredients, herbs, and spices that were out of this world in my mother's kitchen". said Tokollo 'TK' Manyashi.
Tokollo tells us about his fast-food franchise model that aims to solve problems faced by emerging entrepreneurs, youth, and elders. TK Sisonke Kitchen is not just a fast-food spot, but also a center that aims to instill, develop and encourage peace and unity in the community.
Back in the year 2020, just after the pandemic occurred, many people lost their jobs and others in jeopardy. Tokollo says that's when he restored the belief that giving is not just about making a donation, it's about making a difference. Tokollo in collaboration with Digital Scope and Refilwe Maraba started serving FREE warm soft porridge to the community every Tuesday and Friday. This initiative attracted many individuals and companies to sponsor and give support, the likes of Shibe Monyamane's kitchen, Bareng Madubanya, and many more.
From day 1 they served over 50 people, on their 10th day of serving the porridge, they got a pleasant visit from Chief Magadangele Mashashane II.
Manyashi says that he's proud to be giving back to the community that is often neglected. One of the positive things he does for the community is to buy sanitary pads for the needy.
"I believe that I've created a fast-food franchise business model that aims to help not only the village economy but also emerging entrepreneurs to overcome some of the challenges that I have faced. On the other side, create employment.
38-year-old Tokollo still tries his level best to push without getting tired, give back and help those who need it most in many ways possible. "Charity begins at home but shouldn't end there.
Giving back to the community is in fact vague and misty in nature.
