THE FOUNDER OF TREATS CLUB THE STORY OF LUNGILE MHLANGA
Following your passion can take you to some pretty unexpected places, but few entrepreneurs can personally attest to that as well as Lungile Mhlanga, the founder of Treats Club. This innovative company offers a unique approach to getting customers freshly baked goods, even when COVID-19 spread across the world. During college, Mhlanga had a part-time job as a makeup consultant with Benefit Cosmetics. She loved this work so much that she dropped out of college to work there full time. A few years later, she took a position working for MAC Cosmetics at Harrods, a famous London department store. Honing her customer service skills, she soon ended up becoming a manager and trainer for MAC, working in Dubai, the Middle East, and India. After she quit her job at MAC, Mhlanga found herself back in London, wondering what to do next. She recalled the praise she had received for some of her baked goods,
and that was when her foray into the baking business started.
Mhlanga began posting some of her baked goods on Instagram, even scoring her former employer, MAC Cosmetics, as a corporate customer. Then, as fortune would have it, she got a chance to go on “An Extra Slice,” a sister TV show to the popular series “The Great British Bake Off.” On the show, Mhlanga was selected as “star baker,” validating her desire to turn her passion for baking into a “proper business.” And so, Treats Club was born. Mhlanga made tasty treats, including hot doughnuts, for customers at markets all over London — and not even a pandemic could stop her. Mhlanga simply pivoted into her new circumstances without much fuss, putting together kits that customers could use to make her hot doughnuts themselves. After being featured on popular morning TV show “Sunday Brunch,” she had over 200 orders for the kits.
Mhlanga continues to gain a following for her baking prowess, and as long as she’s willing to adapt and follow her passions, that success won’t stop anytime soon.
How Can Police Testimony Affect My Case?
The court will usually (unfortunately) believe the police officer and not the one who has been accused. However, you will be glad to hear that the jurors — who are, after all, deciding your case — are not allowed to believe the police officers just because they are police officers. On the contrary, the jurors must consider all testimony objectively and without preconceived bias. If there are no other witnesses except the police officers, the jury must pay attention to the facts of the case. The important thing in the police testimony is the police report. In most cases, the police officers will fill out the reports with common phrases such as “bloodshot and watery eyes,” “slurred speech,” or something similar. Through the cross-examination, the court will make the decision whether this report is correct or not.
There are a few other factors to consider as well. The police officers often have to witness the accused driver’s ability to take the sobriety test (the test to establish the alcohol level in the driver’s blood system). If the driver had difficulties while taking the sobriety test for any reason, then the testimony of the police officer will be that “the driver didn’t succeed when taking the sobriety test,” which means the driver was surely intoxicated. But the fact is that sobriety tests are not always easy to accomplish, for various reasons. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the driver was intoxicated with alcohol because he wasn’t able to take the sobriety test. That’s why it is important to find a well-suited, experienced lawyer for your case. Choose Yeargan & Kurt, and we promise you’ll always have the best DUI legal team in Georgia on your side.
When you face a DUI charge in Georgia, you should be aware that the testimony of police officers plays a huge role in the process that follows. The testimony of the police officers is critical to a conviction in most DUI cases. Usually, police officers are fully respected, and their testimony against the accused person carries a lot of weight. For example, if you are arrested while driving alone in the car, the police officer is the only witness.
