Founder of The Light Candles Makatu Tshivhula explains how he left his job after five months to start the business.
From working at a candle manufacturing factory to owning one!
22-year-old Makatu Tshivhula from Soweto founded The Light Candles company which manufactures and sells premium quality household candles, scented candles and pillar candles.
Speaking to Refiloe Mpakanyane, Tshivhula says it took him six months to realise he needs to start his own business.
It started off just as household candles and when people started coming and asking if I made scented candles, I started adding on to the catalogue.
