And seven-year-old Abel Mbatha is just the barber you need to see!
Daily Sun spotted the youngster cutting his friends’ hair outside his mum’s house in Daveyton.Mum Khonzaphi Mbatha said her son took after his dad.

When the SunTeam visited on Sunday, Abel was busy shaving his friend’s hair with a razor.To show that he meant business, he even had a mirror so that his clients could look at themselves as he was cutting their hair.
Nearby, others were waiting their turn.
