Mpophomeni, KwaZulu-Natal → Africa → The world
Entrepreneur and business voice. I build businesses in KwaZulu-Natal and explain on camera how business in Africa really works — textiles is where the proof is.
About
I'm Lwazi Kunene, an entrepreneur from Mpophomeni in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. I've sewn for a living for more than ten years — from factory floors to my own business — and today I run a clothing alterations and tailoring brand, a free sewing-education platform, and a digital services practice for small businesses. On camera, I break down the numbers, policies and hard truths that shape business in South Africa and beyond.
