Turning teasing into a fledgling clothing brand

in a relationship with another person, despite promising not to cheat. A selfish act such as this goes against all accepted norms in a committed relationship. It can create deep rifts that are not easy to heal. And most importantly, cheating creates distrust.

As a result, after many heartbreaks, some women today decide to have a friend-with-benefits type of relationship. This way, they can focus on their career and raising kids and still get their sexual needs met. Let’s highlight some of the differences between the two.

Face-to-face infidelity

● It involves sexual intercourse

● Passionate kissing

● Flirting

● Petting

● Sexual attraction, and more.

Cyber cheating

● Cyber cheating has a sex chat that includes masturbation

● There is emotional involvement

● Planning to meet in the near future

● Talking dirty or flirting

● Watching online pornography

● Betraying the confidence of your partner Infidelity is never the answer to a struggling relationship. Even when it feels like the bond of love and affection has started to fade, there are still better solutions than betraying your partner’s trust.

Running a business requires the ability to turn lemons into lemonade. No one knows that better than Vincent Tshepo Moloi. Growing up in Thembisa, he was teased because of his surname, which means “witch” in English or Mthakathi in Zulu. The teasing inspired him to launch Mthakathi, a clothing brand. Tshepo’s clothing brand and printing business are sought after inThembisa and surrounding areas today.

But who is Tshepo? “I know him to be very humble, hardworking, and consistent,” Derrick Maphoro said. Tshepo was born at Leratong Hospital in Krugersdorp 38 years ago. He currently lives in Thembisa, Motsu section, where he runs his thriving business. Before venturing into entrepreneurship, he worked for Revac Air conditioning, a company that provides maintenance, service and sales of all air-conditioning and ventilation systems.

In 2021, Tshepo bought his printing machine. He could not believe the response from clients as he started his business. After a few months of starting his business, he found himself printing for other brands and community members, including his former employer.

“ I own a clothing brand Mthakathi and I also do the printing for other brands for example, society, schools, churches and also do the printing for local brands,” he said.

“My inspiration comes from supporting local brands as I love fashion and looking good.”

Tshepo believes the government doesn’t do enough to support local businesses. “We would love to be recognised and be supported with funds so we can have big machines to work with and to hire the youth of Thembisa as the unemployment rate is too high,” he said.

It is Tshepo’s dream to see his brand and business grow exponentially. In addition to owning a warehouse and stores in various malls, he wants to create jobs for young people.
