Lady Du, real name Duduzile Ngwenya inspires followers and colleagues in the music industry with her success story.
The South African singer has consistently bragged about prudent decisions, regarding finances.
Last year, she invested her money from bookings and music careers into the beauty business, bought land, and built a salon.
Taking to Instagram, Lady Du revealed that the second franchise will be opened before this year ends, and she looks forward to opening a third franchise.
“This is not to brag but to inspire people that think success is something bigger than them. 2022 december i took a risk, i had 2 choices, either to pay off my house or buy a house cash in the hood and start a business that would eventually pay off my debt, I took option 2 and never looked back, I bought a property built a salon, every time I got a show i’d invest in the building, we were finished by may 2023, in October 2023 we opened, it was a success,” she wrote.
“2024 after saving from October 2023 to 2024 May we got our second property built a second franchise again sacrificing all the things we want for ourselves to build a business that will secure us financially. Its wild because it looks like ill be opening this one too between September and October.”
The Amapiano vocalist further urged other artists to invest wisely.
“To artists, you only peak once, then stay relevant the rest of the time, at your peak try and not fall into the trap of trends and start building yourself!!!!! I sacrificed alot of my money and lifestyle to build one i will have forever!!! Currently in the process of paying off all my remaining debts!!!! So, I live a debt free life.”
“My business is not only a salon but real estate! I own all the properties i work on. Leaving a legacy for my daughter!!! This industry isn’t easy at all so move smarter!!!!! I’m currently looking for a home to open my third franchise this is all with my bookings money!!!! No sponsor just plain hard work and sacrifice.”
“God knows our intentions and will give you what your heart desires 🙏 please be loyal to yourself!!!! Success is not an easy road, and yes we have broke days too. Lol im broke as we speak trying to build more but i know next year this time ill be in a very good place financially,” she added.
