Hirchfeld makes a living from tyre business

The business, which is located along the ever buzzing Molepolole main road, Motswedi Tyre Services specialises in tyre repairs, retreaded and selling of second hand tyres.

Last week, Motswedi Tyre Services manager, Aobakwe Hirchfeld who is also the brother to the owner said the tyre service business is lucrative even though they had both better and bad days. “When we started, we would go for three days without getting any business; this did not demoralise us as we kept operating until it picked up the pace,” he said in an interview with BusinessMonitor “The business is now sustainable because we get the salaries to feed our families.” According to Aobakwe, his brother used his savings that were mostly generated from the other businesses that he is running to fund the establishment of the tyre venture.
