While at the private school, Reddford House, Sibeko met barista Khulekani Mpala who taught him how to make coffee. Through his business Siyavutha Holdings – a property investment company he established in 2020 – Sibeko came up with a youth empowerment programme that teaches pupils in grades 10 to 12 how to make coffee.
One of their pop-up stores is at the ongoing ANC's 55th national elective conference at Nasrec, Johannesburg. They sell freshly brewed coffee to thousands of delegates who have been spending sleepless nights discussing policy and electing leadership. Former professional footballer Sibusiso Sibeko teaches the skill to make coffee to township pupils.
On their menu is their unique Sowetocano and Sowetoccino , among other options named after where they come from in Soweto. "When I was introduced to the coffee space, I connected with a lot of people and saw that as an opportunity to get the kids exposed. I saw coffee as a medium to transport kids into various industries,” said Sibeko.
