ZOLA Nongoma lost his job as a shop assistant at the start of lockdown in 2020.
The 35-year-old was retrenched as his employer was struggling to make a living. To survive, he turned into a male magosha and he has never looked back.
Now the man from Soweto wants to let women yearning for a good poke to know that he’s available.
He renders services to both married and unmarried women, and he has regular customers who call him often.
“I started when I made a joke with a female friend jokingly that I serviced woman, but she took it seriously.”
She invited him to her house to service her and paid him after the job was done. “She gave me R700 for a job well done.”
Two days later, he received a call from another woman who told him she had been referred to him by her friend.
He also got paid R700.

Zola said after those two jobs he realised there was money to be made in this business. He charges R700 for overnight and R150 for day clients.
Some of his clients meet him at their places while others prefer BnBs or hotels.
His poking business has been spread by word of mouth and now he’s getting one referral after another.
Zola wants to spread his wings across Mzansi.
He said some of his customers are married women whose husbands are ill and can’t satisfy them. He said he often gets invited to their houses.
“We poke, I get paid and I leave,” he said.
Zola has to stay in shape to satisfy his clients. He eats healthily, exercises and drinks lots of water.
He sees customers on an appointment basis only and makes sure he rests to be at his best.
