Nimrod Nkosi is trending after reportedly selling sanitary pads from the back of his car. The ex-Jam Alley host shared that the COVID-19 pandemic taught him that he should not depend on one income stream. He said celebrities should have many income streams so they will not struggle when facing tough times. Nimrod Nkosi was quoted saying:
I developed a new love for business after the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world and Mzansi. I no longer rely on just one income since the Covid-19 lockdown left many people in the entertainment industry broke. Covid caught us off guard and it showed us that we should always have access to planning and saving. Some of my colleagues in the industry are in proverty and we are now realising that we can bring more income into our streams
Besides having a career in the entertainment world, Nimrod Nkosi is a Longrich Network Marketing distributor, and he decided to add another side hustle to earn extra cash. He is now selling sanitary pads from the boot of his car.

However, his new side hustle left many debating that he should have donated the pads to the less privileged school girls and looked for a formal business. Mzansi suggests he should have chosen a better side hustle than selling sanitary pads.
Social media users are not impressed with Nimrod’s new side hustle, and they can’t even hide it. His fans were even comparing him to Skeem Saam actor Clement Maosa, donating sanitary pads for high school girls in Limpopo. Here are a few comments on Twitter:
@MrSoWhat31 commented: “He chose the wrong things to sell, he mustn’t be selfish. Sanitary pads must be free.”
@mheidtman said: “Should donate them, not sell them!”
@ngwanawamotho said: “Bathong, his a Longrich distributor, what he’s doing there is called network marketing and many can still join the product based company/companies and sell to make extra income. Before you make reports like this, do your research.”
@MaxwellKamte added: “The vulnerable kids need them at schools, he should donate instead!”
Nimrod’s fans were worried about the reports that he is now selling pads, but they were also happy that he is not begging for money; instead, he is working for it.
