Bathu Hypes Drip! Theo Baloyi Congratulates Lekau Sehoana As He Opens 2 New Stores. Now this is the epitome of brotherhood. Just because they are in the same line of business, doesn’t mean they both have to be sworn enemies. Instead Theo Baloyi and Lekau Sehoane have shown us working together yields great results as opposed to working against each other.
Theo is the man behind Bathu Footwear, whereas Lekau is the proud owner of Drip Footwear. The two CEOs recently had lunch together, a gesture that warmed the hearts of may South Africans. Lekau shared a picture of them together and stated that between the two of them, they have employed over 260 South Africans. He also revealed that tomorrow they will create 10 more jobs as Drip opens two new stores in Eastrand and Springs Mall.
Responding to Lekau, Theo said the meeting they just had has been long overdue, and express his delight that it finally happened. He wished Lekau nothing but the best as he opens his store tomorrow.
“This meeting has been long overdue , lovely meeting you brother @LekauSehoana ,Let’s keep pushing. Best wishes with the store opening in springs tomorrow,” Theo said.
Both of these business ventures are so inspirational, more so since they started from humble beginnings. Bathu was established in the heart of Alexandra township in 2015. The shoe brand’s main aim when it started was to tell a proudly untold South African township story to the world. The inspirational Theo was declined 16 times by the factory before being approved for the mesh edition flagship design. Now the shoe is a household name across the country and beyond. He recently collaborated with media personality Somizi to launch the BathuXSomizi Sneakers.
