In an interview, Dube who is based in South Africa told Chronicle Showbiz that she is ready to expand her scope.

“We have been covering Bulawayo and South Africa, but we are looking to expand our services and cater to customers who are going to graduation ceremonies and awards as well as delivering our services countrywide as we have clientele outside Bulawayo too.

“Widening our scope has been a long-term goal. We also want to expand our range since we mostly offer feminine merchandise, especially shoes,” she said.
