Kanye -based Youth Development Fund (YDF) beneficiary, Mr Lone Medupe has encouraged young people to have patience and passion to shepherd their business ventures to success.
In an interview at his Games Room located at Marapalalo ward in Kanye recently, Mr Medupe, trading as Jiemont Gaming Zone said he ventured into the business to cater for school going children especially those whose parents could not afford home entertainment in the form of paid television subscriptions for sober fun.
He observed that children, usually out of boredom, ended up indulging in delinquent activities like drinking and smoking especially marijuana hence the idea to close the gap.
He said his Games Room was affordable to children across all social classes adding he usually offered regular customers an opportunity to play for free.
Mr Medupe said the games also ignite a winning spirit among the children. “Since none of them wants to lose a game to an opponent, I advise them to apply the same spirit when tackling life situations especially their studies,” said Mr Medupe.
However, he decried that most of the equipment he had wanted to acquire through YDF was rather expensive to buy or maintain which he said somewhat stifled his business.
 Mr Medupe, who has employed one Motswana, was nonetheless optimistic that he would pull through and spread the business across the village.ENDS
