Sitting down and accepting your current negative situation is not a trait most South Africans have. 

There is something genuinely resilient about South Africans. Despite our challenges, we somehow find a way to pick ourselves up and keep moving. 

Recently, social media shared an example of this go-getter attitude: a group of women gathered on the sidewalks of Small Street, Johannesburg, to offer affordable makeup services.

Legally, there are many laws against vendors operating on public sidewalks. Still, our CBD has become a one-stop shop for many people looking for services and goods at an affordable rate. 

We are here to appreciate their vitality and go-getter attitude. It's a great message to live by.
