When the Covid-19 lockdown brought the country to a standstill in 2021, many South Africans struggled to make ends meet.
For Sebokeng entrepreneur Nozipho Sithetho, 38, the difficult period sparked an unexpected opportunity that led to the creation of NYS Chilie relish, a fast-growing local condiment brand.
Sithetho, who previously worked as a bond originator, has always loved spicy food. With only essential shopping allowed at the time, she began experimenting at home, using chillies from her familys four small trees.
