We are excited and proud to see our CEO, Bathabile Moreki, featured in DRUM Magazine!👏🏾✨
The feature shares the story behind The Perfume Co Africa, from a R2,000 experiment at home during the Covid-19 pandemic to building a fragrance business rooted in entrepreneurship and opportunity.
Bathabile’s journey is a reminder that some of the biggest visions begin with a simple idea, the courage to take the first step and the determination to keep going.
What makes this journey particularly meaningful is that the vision extends beyond perfume. Through her growing portfolio of businesses, Bathabile continues to explore new ways to create opportunities, build sustainable enterprises and empower others to participate in business.
Thank you to DRUM Magazine for sharing her story and giving more people the opportunity to learn about the journey, the vision and the work behind the businesses.
We invite you to read the full feature and celebrate this milestone with us.
