Looking forward to festive season

It's October and the countdown to the festive season has begun. We asked a few business people how they were feeling.

Interviews, photos: Linda Sparg MINNIE MOSTERT: “Ek is positief. Dis lekker as die vakansiegangers kom. My man sê, as jy soggens die winkel oopmaak en braaivleis ruik, weet jy dis vakansietyd. Daar’s ‘n lekker atmosfeer.”

FEROZE JAFFER: “Gedurende die vakansie is Mosselbaai ‘n fantastiese plek om te wees. Ek wil my voorraad opbou. Ek sien uit na ‘n besige Desember.”

HENRIETTA OLIVER: “Die Oktobervakansie was vir my baie besig. Ek is ‘n koffiewinkeleienaar. Ek dink dat Desember baie besig sal wees. Ek doen wat ek kan; ek breek nie my nek nie. Goeie diens is baie belangrik.”

VUYOKAZI SAKWE: “I’ll have a stall at the Hartenbos market as well as the Goods Shed. I’m stressing a bit about business, but I’ll be trying something new - bringing in different stock, such as T-shirts.”

NICO COETZEE: “Ek is dankbaar as ek werk toe gaan. As jy voluit leef sal dit ‘n goeie dag, maand, jaar wees. Jy kan elke dag vreugdevol wees.”
