The Best shines Amidst the worst

Review: The Heart and Soul of Engen @ Engen Emmarentia. (The Amagwinya Team)

I’m writing this specifically to recognize the two ladies and the gentleman who handle the food at this Engen. In my opinion, they make the absolute best amagwinya of any Engen garage, but it’s their character that truly sets them apart.

My name is Thabo, and although I haven’t been by in a while, I will never forget the impact these three had on my life. There was a time when I was living on the streets, and every morning—tired and hungry—their stall was my first stop.

While the management often looks sour or overwhelmed by their own problems, this team is the complete opposite. They have an amazing, consistent, and professional aura. They are kind to everyone, especially those who have the least, and they treat the poor with a level of respect that is rare to find.

They don't just serve food; they serve hope. Their friendly smiles and those perfect amagwinya genuinely made my day every single time. They are the true heart and soul of this business. If you want to see what real service and humanity look like, look for these three.
