Meet Rethabile Mohlakola, the founder and owner of Moh's Doughy Delights.



Starting a business can be exciting and also stressful at the same time. Some writters believe that starting a business is likely the most stressful thing, outside of parenting.

On this blog, AnalyOnline, I have developed an interesting platform called 'Small Business Watch'. The platform was established to realise the mandate to 'Promote' as included in the introductory statement of AnalyOnline. This is done in a way that seeks to revive and encourage the spirit of love and support to my readers. 

On our first Small Business Watch, We feature a young black business woman who is making a name for herself by serving freshly baked food for her community of Vaal.

Rethabile Mohlakola is an entrepreneur from Vaal, (South of Johannesburg) in Gauteng, who fell in love with selling at a young age when she used to sell sweets to her Secondary school mates. Although many people think that selling is easy, Rethabile says that this has been a challenging task to her which came with many lessons about business and people in general. 

When Covid 19 Lockdown was implemented , Families were forced to Stay in their homes for their safety. This is when Rethabile saw an opportunity to use her baking skills that she got from her mother, to bake food for families to enjoy while they stay in their homes under the 'harsh' Covid-19 lockdown. 


Rethabile established her own business called Moh's Doughy Delights, which bakes scones, biscuits, Jam tarts and Melting Moments. Speaking to Rethabile, she says the name of her business was inspired by the holy spirit and comes from the first three letters of her surname 'Moh'-lakola.


The establishment is based in Vereeniging, South of Johanneburg in Gauteng. What makes Moh's Doughty Delights special is the fact that your purchase can now be delivered straight to your doorstep, to limit the spread of the virus Covid-19. To place your order, call or WhatsApp 068 584 7020.

Scones: (5L-20L) = R140 - R400

STORY | Zoom signals the end of an era for work from home phenomenon

Image
My cousin has been working from home ever since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. She only goes to the office once every month and has enough time to spend with the family. The Covid-19 lockdown introduced a more flexible and family-friendly way of work: Work-from-home. Remote work became the new normal due to Covid-19 regulations. Softwares like Zoom helped us to usher in the age of remote work and arguably benefited from the transition more than any other business. Zoom, the company whose name has become a verb symbolizing remote work is calling workers back to the office. Zoom formalized a policy to bring people to the office two days a week—a typical “structured hybrid” policy that will still allow people to work remote. Very important to note that the company only summoned staff living a “commutable distance” to the office. Is this a sign that remote work’s days are “over,” “dead” and we are at the “end of an era? We don't know. What we do know is that Zoom isn’t alone in
