Ntuluki proudly presents "clean clean" carwash in Borolong

BOROLONG: William Shakespeare says people should not be afraid of greatness and that is exactly what Tony Ntuluki, a 34-year-old Borolong born and bred man is doing.

No one thrust this greatness upon him and he was not born great. He is busy constructing a road to greatness with a car wash and as a vegetable vendor in the village. Actually, the father of one, who is a bachelor, Ntuluki said after it dawned on him that he was not going to get employed by anyone, he took it as a challenge that needed to be confronted head on.  With the initial help of the Gachala family in Borolong, Mmoloki and his wife Mercy, who bought him a hoover, car wash net, gum poles and other small car cleaning equipment, he was off to a roaring start just two months ago.

He said that he bought himself a generator to establish the car wash, which is now the talk of the village.  Ntuluki is the proud owner of a fully registered "Clean Clean Car Wash" which, on entering Borolong from Francistown by a popular pub, "Save Mor", is emblazoned in big letters on a billboard by the roadside. Together with the vegetable vendor, the carwash is presently putting food on the table for him and his child who is in Standard Three. But in the two months he has been at it, with the profit that he is raking in, he already fancies himself the village tycoon.  The car wash also has a vegetable market and both of his businesses are registered.  "I clean a car for P30, truck for P150, big carpets for P120, medium size P60 and couch for P400 whilst in my vegetable market I sell fruits and vegetables and cigarettes, " he said.
