Business was booming in Mbombela over the weekend as the Springboks played Argentina, keeping the town abuzz with tourists from all over the country and outside it.
Street vendors made a quick buck by selling food and sports gear, while others saw a business opportunity by renting out their houses.
Nkosinathi Sengwayo, who owns Lakhisha, provided transport for sport fans and also organised accommodation for them.
"I'm an agent who people book through for hotels and guest houses. I normally secure accommodation and also assess security before availing it for booking. The booking includes transport where I hire local taxis to transport fans from their guest houses to the stadium. Most hotels were fully booked so I then organised locals to surrender their houses for guests," said Sengwayo.
