Visit any township in South Africa and look closely – there are similarities that make townships vibrant. From fashion to food, entrepreneurs are born every day eKasi with one thing in common... to beat the daily challenges that they’re faced with. The aim is to build long-lasting legacies that will better their lives and those of generations to come.

This is where Vodacom Financial Services comes in, not as a saviour but as a difference maker to businesspeople from all walks of life. Sir Anthony Jeans Co is the brainchild of the talented craftsman, Anthony Kobane from the Vaal. A man who - through his love for fashion - took the needle, thread, and sewing machine and started weaving his denim-draped dreams.

“My family moved to Vosloorus many years ago, and you know in Vosloorus, we are the masters of style and fashion,” says Kobane.

He dresses Vosloorus’s hustlers, movers and shakers in handmade designs and Sir Anthony Jeans Co is known as the first quality denim outlet. This is a reputation Anthony has built through his work ethic, skill and good entrepreneurial mindset.

Your customers need to feel safe, and your business can’t afford to miss a sale – Sinawe!

Sinawe when you build your brand brick by brick, to ensure that you thrive in your business pursuits by having the right technology in place. Anthony realised how much the people of Vosloorus helped him to build his business. To date, they are still his main target audience. Given the harsh reality of the township and doing business there, he knows how important it is for him and his customers to be safe, by not having cash in his shop.

Doing more with the right support...

Anthony Kobane made the first step by starting his business, and we are privileged to be able to walk the next mile with him with a VodaPay Kwika Card Machine available for you HERE.

Sir Anthony Jeans Co has since grown, and he is now able to do pop-ups and deliver his merchandise using bicycles operated by his new staff complement. In this token, his dream is not only growing, but also impacting positively on the lives of others.

Budding entrepreneurs struggle to access the one thing that they need to set their dream’s wheels in motion – business finance. This is often the deciding factor, many have shown their passion, but without money, their journeys are continuously cut short. However, Vodapay and VodaLend are here... Together, let’s see your vision through.
