I eventually saved up for accommodation at the shelter and was given an opportunity to sell my Dankie Kasi t-shirts and journals every Sunday at the Dreyer Street Market in Cavendish Square.

Everybody either working or frequenting the mall, has been very supportive and they are my new Kasi, along with everybody that has had a positive impact in my life or those around me. Prior to having my stall in Dreyer Street Market I became a commercial model with Grace and attended castings regurlarly.Dankie Kasi is a t-shirt business initiative I established which I intend to grow. My plan is sell other products such as hoodies, track tops etc. as I've always had a love for fashion-"style and grace" I termed it. Though I could never afford any clothing I admired people who dressed up, I still do.My brand name is Dankie Kasi and is registered with the CIPC and Dankie Kasi has a BEE certificate.Dankie-means thank you in Afrikaans, an expression of gratitude.Kasi- is short for Lokasie. It is also a South African national slang for community (friends or family).I established Dankie Kasi as a business to encourage others to wear their gratitude as well as make life better for myself and my family.I designed Dankie Kasi myself and worked different jobs in order to start it up.

Many thanks
