How the pandemic turned a Cape tour guide into a koesister champion
Share
Cape Town - When the Covid-19 pandemic took away his livelihood as a tour guide back in May 2020, Faieez âFuzzyâ Alexander from Wetton decided to try his hand at making koesisters for sale in an effort to support his family. He had never made them before.
âI had to do something not just to pay my bills but to put food on the table. I started making koesisters on a Sunday in the middle of May and selling them from home and on my first try I sold over 2 000.
