Hustle Gang: After getting fired, I found success making leather soccer balls

Stephen Kabagi alias Mr Balls ventured into making leather soccer balls after getting fired. He now earns more than he did before.

At Kariobangi Lights Industry in Nairobi, a man runs a soccer shop. Unfinished soccer balls decorate the walls of his shop while newly-stitched ones are strategically displayed outside his shop to attract new clients.

For years ago, Stephen Kabagi alias Mr Balls had a job which he lost when a leather company he worked for closed shop.
