Success Story

Empowering young people to create jobs through
skills development

27 year-old, Kedibone Segole from Mabopane township in
the North of Pretoria is a Political Science graduate from the
University of Pretoria. The young and ambitious Kedibone started
her business in cosmetics, Moipone Aesthetics after her contract
job ended. In 2019, she completed the W&RSETA-funded
learnership in entrepreneurship development programme
which assisted in her entrepreneurship journey. The programme
which is offered as skills programmes under the New Venture
Learndership empowered her to improve her business acumen.
Kedibone has also been motivated to empower other young
people through this exposure. Her passion for entrepreneurship
started in primary school where she sold branded clothing and
doughnuts as well as running a small baking business and a
tuck shop.

Kedibone speaking at the Small Business Development
Institute colloquium in 2021

“Although I have a formal education and work
experience, I lacked the administration and operation
skills to run my business. I see myself in the next 2-5
years having an international footprint in supplying
exceptional quality natural personal care products and

Interacting with the W&RSETA CEO, Tom Mkhwanazi penetrating the hospitality industry by, supplying spas,
hotels and lodges.”
