Growing up, Poloko Masizane, 26, would watch his mother and uncle mend clothes and design outfits. They inspired him so much that today, he designs backpacks and duffel bags.

Masizane, of Montshioa in Mahikeng, North West, is the founder of a bag brand called King Size, a business he started three years ago after resigning from his job in the retail industry.

“I guess that’s how I learnt. I went on to patching clothes and tearing backpacks apart and putting them back together,” he said. He called his new venture King Size to inspire people to believe in themselves. “People must believe they are the size of kings and nothing less,” said Masizane. “I received a business grant worth R50,000 to buy equipment, including industrial sewing machines. I am now able to produce products of great quality and to produce more items on time, thanks to the NYDA,” he said.
