Entrepreneur Finds That Persistence Pays off

1. Perseverance can bring rewards. Tommy Makhatho, owner of MT Black Hair Distributors, has learnt this important lesson. He endured many business hardships. before becoming a successful entrepreneur in the end.

2. Makhato was one of the two winners of the Business Partners/Santam Entrepreneur of the Year awards, earlier this month.

3. Like the majority of black township youth of his generation, Makhatho left school at an early age toe seek work, and took a succession of jobs in and around Johannesburg. Between jobs, he maintained a steady hawking business, selling linen bought from Indian traders to customers in the rural areas of Qwa-qwa.

4. In this way, Makhato managed to accumulate enough funds to enable him to enrol for a partime course in hairdressing.

5. On completing the course, Makhato resigned from his permanent employment as a waiter at the Carlton Hotel and established a 'backyard' hair salon in Soweto's Orlando East. Although the business went under after a few months, Makhatho was undaunted. He sold off what was left of his assets, adn with the proceeds (about R7000) went south-east, to Phuthaditjhaba in Qwa-qwa.

6. In 1980, Makhatho established the first professionally run hair salon in the area, with a staff of four, including his wife and two assistants. He operated this business successfully for four years. During this period, he began distributing hair-care products in townships in the Free State, the Northern Cape and Lesotho. Unbeknown to him, his hair-care operation had underlying problems, and these forced him to close down in 1990. He had accumulated a huge debt by this time.

7. Such a setback might have had a lesser entrepreneurial spirit running for cover. The entrepid Makhatho, however, got down to some hard work and ended up paying of his debt in less than three months. He then had the idea of establishing a cosmetics store. Makhatho felt that - unlike his previous distribution operation - a store would have hands-on management attention and control because he could spend more of his time managing it personally.

8. The first Jabula store opened in May 1991. The market responded so positively that, by December of the same year, a second Jabula Cosmetics store was established. The third and fourth stores followed in 1994 and 1995, with the staff complement increasing to 29 during that period.

9. Besides the Jabula Cosmetics operation, Makhatho, assisted by his wife, operates the Bibi Cash and Carry stores in the Qwa-qwa region. He now owns two hair salons and a community gym, and employs 162 people.

1.1 Tommy Makhatho calls his business MT Black Hair Distributors. Give one reason why he calls his business this.

Passage BSouth Africa’s smallest hotel

(Along with the owner, the architect, the builder, the electrician, the plumber, the inerior decorator, the receptionist, the maitre d’ and the chef.)

1. Strictrly speaking, it’s more of a bed and breakfast than a hotel. But Vicky Ntozini already has plans for extending her three-roomed B&B made of tree trunks, corrugated iron and hardboard. Guests from all around the world who spend a few days and nights in Kayelitsha’s most compact lodge want for nothing when it comes to their comfort and well being.

2. As far as the Business Trust is concerned, Vicky’s B&B is one of the most important tourist establishments in the country. We think it represents a huge area of untapped opportunity for giving overseas visitors a truly authentic South African experience.

3. The Business Trust consists of over 100 South African based companies that have combined resources to fund initiatives in tourism, education and crime prevention. By pooling our contributions we’ll be able to spend R1 billion on these projects over the next five years.

4. With our government partners we have identified tourism as the greatest potential source of income, growth and job creation that our country has.

5. The Business Trust Tourism Enterprise program is designed to help tourism businesses grow and employ more people.

6. It will link businesses to market opportunities, entrepreneurs to financing and connect established businesses to new ones. In addition, it’ll provide training and support. Our goal is to assist 1000 businesses and thereby help to create up to 50 000 jobs directly. To help make these businesses viable, we also intend spending hundreds of millions on marketing our country to the world.

7. Already we’ve contributed R50 million to a massive marketing and promotional campaign, which has been seen by over 60 million people living abroad.

8. Many visitors to our country will be attracted by our incredible wildlife, our amazing scenery and our perfect weather. Still, we believe that their most enduring memories should be of the South African people and their warmth and hospitality. And with establishments like Vicky’s around, that’s practically guarenteed.

What to doIf someone you know talks about suicide, take it seriously. About 75% of all victims give some warning of their intentions to a friend or family member. Rather than trying to argue them out of it, be willing to listen. Let the person know that you are trying to understand and that they are not alone. Social support is one of the best protections agains suicide.Tell them that suicidal feelings are temporary, and that their depression can be treated and thier problems solved.Hopelessness, more than depression, predicts suicide. People who are suicidal don’t want to die, they simply want to end their pain. When they see another way to end their pain, they take it. People kill themselves when they feel there is no other way out.

Always seek help.
