The Limpopo-born businessman told IOL that his brand features a colourful assortment of apparel, ranging from casual wear to personalised designs. These styles include shoes, accessories, t-shirts, and jeans. Although the manufacturing and textile sectors boost the economy, the 41-year-old stated that he also hopes to provide value with his brand.
“I reasoned that talking to people about the potential for dreams to come true via clothing may have a greater impact than anything else. What better way to preserve culture and language than by combining fashion and art?. “The reason I started the clothing business is that I think everyone can achieve their goals with hard work, ambition, and dedication.”
“Again, my love for fashion introduced me to people with stories of success and I also realised that I can be another story of great success achieved through hard work,” he stated. Rapholo has been able to empower and engage with young people who are keen to learn more about the industry through his apparel line.
Despite the challenging reality of running a business, Rapholo, who holds a Network Administration certificate from Boston, stated that owning a business has always been his passion. “Funding is always the issue, followed by financial discipline and education,” he stated. Pholo claimed to have partnered with well-known comedian and businesswoman Mashabela Galane on his travels.
“We hope to acquire a manufacturing business in the near future, which would only ensure that we can provide additional jobs.” Rapholo currently employs four people to work in his two Polokwane stores.
The aspirational entrepreneur claimed that in addition to his emphasis on apparel, he is also an avid football fan and has turned down offers from major national teams. He claimed that those in charge of his career at the time were asking him for bribes, but he was unable to pay them.
Rapholo promised to utilise his experience to encourage young boys in communities who aspire to be football stars in the future, even though he chose not to pursue his football career. Along with his crew, they find potential in local communities and help them sign with professional clubs. Rapholo is hopeful that his efforts will have an impact on the nation.
