- Precious Angel started selling affordable noodles and breakfast hampers after she faced heavy financial pressure while looking for stable work.
- Precious Angel says young women must never fear starting over because survival requires changing direction and using their personal talents.
A Pretoria woman has turned her daily fight against high living costs into a growing food business.
Precious Angel changed her life after struggling with unemployment and heavy financial pressure. The entrepreneur says survival pushed her to reinvent herself many times.
Angel first gained attention through music. She released a song called “I Don’t Want You No More” featuring Dash Hesh. The track focused on healing from heartbreak and helping women regain confidence after painful relationships.
But behind the music, Angel fought the same money problems many South Africans face daily.
“Life became very expensive and I realised I needed more ways to survive and support myself,” said Angel.
“I could not sit and wait for opportunities. I had to create them for myself.”
Her love for fashion opened new doors. She worked as an online stylist and appeared on the Moja Love show The Way Ngingakhona, where she styled Tholang Motsumi in the first season.
She then started Angel’s Bakery, selling baked treats in Pretoria. But as food and transport prices climbed, she looked for more affordable business ideas.
Today she runs Angel’s Hampers, Angel’s Noodles and Angel’s Breakfast Hampers. She sells snack packs and breakfast combinations designed for convenience and affordability.
“Many people are struggling, so I wanted to create something simple and affordable for ordinary people,” she said.
Angel says her story proves that setbacks should not stop women from chasing success.
“You can start again many times in life. What matters is believing in yourself and continuing to push forward,” she said.
