Drip footwear founder Lekau Sehoana shared on his social media pages that he has opened his 21st store for the brand at the Hebron Mall in Akasia.

The company was started in 2003 and had grown in leaps to become a recognizable brand in South Africa after Lekau partnered with Cassper Nyovest on the Root of Fame sneaker line.

The Limpopo-born businessman thanked his loyal supporters for making it possible for him to open up a store and conduct business in places where it's still rare for people like him to thrive.
