“I am a qualified sound engineer who worked for SABC's Channel Africa as a technical sound producer for six years. But from childhood, I've always been passionate about entrepreneurship and doing great things. I always wanted to do more, and I am inspired by excellence.”

Businesswoman self-funded her enterprise

Tebogo notes that she utilised her modest retirement fund to get her gifting business off the ground:

“After that, we started using my husband's salary to patch wherever funds were needed, especially to process orders. I also pawned a lot of personal and household items to push the business.

“Thanks also go to my family and friends who came in whenever I needed them. It has been bootstrapping from the beginning until now.”

The ambitious woman explains that she left her job because of the lack of growth in her previous role – she needed a new and fresh challenge to sink her teeth into:
