“Parents spend a lot of money during the festive season. Whenever it’s time to buy stationery for their children, its always a financial nightmare, especially when they go to the malls or respective stationery shops with their little ones, because children always want more, meaning that more money is spent unnecessarily,” said Ntikinca.
“What inspired me to start the business was my desire to sell convenience, peace of mind and offer affordable prices by making the entire process of buying stationery a simple one.”

“We do hope that in the foreseeable future we can receive some financial assistance from agencies such as Eastern Cape Development Corporation, NYDA and Seda, so that we can expand into other surrounding areas, and do more supplies,” he said.
