REGGAE TALKS - focus is on capacity building for Reggae creatives, with a special focus on Artists and creatives SELF DEVELOPMENT within the space.

Aim is to share knowledge and learn from other, catch us as we are in conversation with MPHO SETJEO

Mpho, is a graphic designer by trade, started his business Daily Bread in April, 2022 when he found graphic design jobs and commissions hard to come by. He initially started trying to sell sandwiches door to door to employees at various firms in Alrode, Alberton, close to where he resides. He found the going tough as it became increasingly different to gain access to many business premises.

Mpho decided to use whatever resources at his disposal to create branding, and advertising, and start his on-the-side-of-the-road business.

“I though to myself, I’ve got a car, I’ve got a smartphone, I’m a graphic designer, I have internet and a computer and I have skills. So something had to give,” said Mpho.

Mpho takes his business very seriously, he has registered the company and even has a speed point for his customers’ convenience. He also believes that how he and his son present themselves plays a vital role in how their customers perceive them.

“We created a brand identity, we made sure we are visible in terms of our advertising boards. In most businesses in the townships or towns, you see people selling something but you don’t know what they are selling or how much it costs. So we needed to be visible…”
