This autobiography charts the remarkable journey of Mzukisi Stephen Dondolo from his humble beginnings in poverty to becoming a beacon of success. Born into challenging circumstances, the pain of hunger never swayed his determination to unlock his full potential. Raised by his mother in ways beyond their imagination, Stephen's early experiences selling buns and produce with her laid the groundwork for his future in business.
The tumultuous events of 1977 in Uitenhage forged a resilient and astute character, paving the way for Stephen to carve out a unique niche in the township economies and the broader Eastern Cape business landscape. His journey was marked by relentless challenges and ventures into unexplored business territories, where he embraced risk and innovation. The lessons learned from these early experiences shaped him into an entrepreneur deeply committed to giving back to the community that nurtured him.
Today, Stephen is dedicated to sharing his knowledge and resources, aiming to mitigate unemployment, poverty, and inequality in his community.
