1.Drip
From being a shoeless homeboy to owning one of South African bred multi-million projects. The Limpopo born Lekau Sehoana, designed his first ever pair of shoes in early grades during private clothing ceremony at his school.
He grew up in living in a shack and when they wrte were told to wear something different at school dor just a once off ceremony, he didn't have enough money to buy him a pair of those branded shoes. In that evening he stated that he took an old pair of shoes that was torn and redesigned it adding some patches of cotton and some different clothes,

From there the passion began, 16 years later he came with Drip a successfully grown and still growing Shoes brand. This time around he said he wanted to come with something he can commercialize, in order to inspire the youth from the trenches that it is all possible, you just gotta be determined. Indeed Lekau did it and his wishes are playing out now, many famous acts are now seen rocking his brand :
