After 16 years of teaching, Madame Margaret has decided to become an entrepreneur; making and selling local drinks.
She described the zeal to start the business as tempting despite the hassle of a business startup. Margaret told DJ Nyaami of SVTV Africa that even though she came to love her profession, it was never by choice.
“I started teaching in 2004 till I resigned last year. The salary was good but the idea to start this business kept haunting me. It got to a time last year, I had no fulfilment in teaching so I made up my mind then.
In our days, our parents wanted us to either be a nurse or a teacher but I am a creative person. I sing act, dance, drum as well so I was forced to choose between these two. It wasn’t by choice,” Margaret disclosed.
MEGMAK Joint is a local drinks and dishes joint located in Tema and owned by Madame Magaret. She serves drinks like sobolo, tamarind juice, palm wine specially made with other local condiments.
