Stellenbosch Car Guard Welly Gets A Car To Build His Business
Story 1
Stellenbosch car guard Masixole Wellington Ngqungu, known as Welly, has bought his first car after a fundraising campaign raised R60,000 to help him obtain his driver’s licence and work towards starting an Uber business.
Welly initially needed R5,000 to travel to Mthatha for his driving test, which he passed, with the remaining funds helping him save towards a car.
Although the vehicle still needs a few repairs before he can start driving, Welly hopes to use it to earn extra income and support his wife and sons.
