In a country where the COVID-19 pandemic spelled doom for many businesses, one brand arose not just to survive but to thrive, morphing challenges into opportunities.

Makubenjalo, founded by the enterprising Katlego "KG" Bogatsu, emerged as a beacon of hope during the darkest days of lockdown, shifting the narrative from despair to revitalisation.

The journey began during the pandemic as part of a series of relief events aimed not only at aiding those facing unprecedented hardship but ultimately leading to the creation of a vibrant community hub through weekly parties.

“Our focus was on uplifting our community, and through those events, we found our pulse and the desire to keep the momentum going,” Bogatsu shared.
