Nomaswazi Tshabalala was forced to think outside the box when she failed to secure a job despite earning a BCom degree.
The University of Johannesburg graduate started a business producing and selling ginger beer, using her late grandmother’s secret recipe, nearly two months ago.
“The challenges I have are funding, to expand manufacturing, marketing and distribution. I also need a mentor in the textile, manufacturing and retail space to help with their expertise as well as connections. I am currently handling everything alone and I am looking to find a partner with complementary skills to help grow TheWoolie,” Ngesman said.
"Growing up my grandmother used to make ginger beer for our family and even neighbours but sadly passed away in May [2019] and left the recipe with my mother ...” Tshabalala told TimesLIVE. "I thought to myself, actually, there is a gap in the market for gemmer and I could turn this into a business, and when I told my mother she couldn’t agree more," she said.
