At present, South Africa’s economy sees more and more people in full-time (9-5) employment going into side-hustles. This is due to the popularization of the 21st century ‘self-starter’ or ‘self-made’ phenomenon that leverages people’s passions into profitable packages that their close and wider community can enjoy. Moreover, the surge of side hustles is obviously reflective of the South African economic crisis that drives the need to have extra/multiple streams of income as reinforcements for possible shortfalls or just for saving.
