A Message from the Founder

Welcome, Valued Customer!

I’m Mpho Zim, the founder of Siphesihle Clothing. By day, I’m a Senior Manager in Revenue Management and by night, I’m dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged children in South Africa through educational interventions.

The foundation of this initiative is deeply rooted in the life-on-life discipleship example of Jesus and the many mentoring relationships I’ve been privileged to have over the years. I’m a wife, a mom of two, and someone who enjoys playing action netball, staying active, spending time with my loved ones, writing, and singing. I have a deep passion for building relationships and for people.

In 2017, while pursuing a Master’s at the University of Pretoria, my research on linking corporate organizations and Child Support Grant (CSG) recipients through ICT sparked a strong desire to turn my academic work into real-world change. After discussing this with my mentors, one of them encouraged me to “start your own!” At first, fear held me back, but that calling wouldn’t let me go.

A few years later, I took a leap of faith and launched the Siphesihle Social Enterprise, alongside Siphesihle Clothing — which funds the social enterprise.

Though I walk forward with trembling hands, my heart is full of faith. May the Lord be glorified in every step of this journey.

Thank you for joining me on this path. Welcome to the family!
