Sinethemba Mgwetana

Sinethemba Mgwetana just started his career as a professional soccer player at the Ubuntu Football Academy, but when the first lockdown came into effect football stadiums were closed and Sinethemba saw his dream as a soccer player disappear.
‍
As all hope was lost Sinethemba came up with the idea to wash his neighbours sneakers for money. Soon his neighbours started referring other community members to him, to the point where he started a business that we now know as - Sneh SnkrWash.

Sinethemba has two staff members who are both still in high school. The trio hopes to expand the business to other townships and create job opportunities for the youth.

Sneh SnrkWash has grown exponentially and they've partnered with the 24h Laundry in Stellenbosch. The partnership offers those who stay far away from Kayamandi a drop-off point to get the best sneaker wash service in town.
