When a problem in her laundromat disrupted her business in 2021, Tebello Khanya, 34, created her own fabric softener and today that innovation has grown into the thriving brand Bonolo Scents.
Bonolo Scents was started in Khanyas parents home in Sasolburg, Free State, which quickly brought its setbacks. However, she turned those into opportunities and is now building a thriving business.
The business started as a laundromat in 2020 in my parents garage. About a year later, I started encountering problems with the drainage system, which was getting blocked and clogged because fabric softener builds up in a machine and later turns into mould.
