He also urged the youth to start taking themselves seriously, and fight for their survival by persevering.
“To the young brothers and sisters, its time to get serious about school and your books. Its time to get serious about your job (if you can find one). Its time to identify a skill and develop it to the point where it can earn you a living. Its time to drink less. Party less. Save your money for your family. Be an entrepreneur where possible. Pass on the blessings at every opportunity. Protect your community. Build your community.”
In 2019, Riky Rick expanded his businesses by starting a unisex salon under the Legends Barber franchise when he opened his own place in Waterfall Midrand.
