Geluksdal – Young entrepreneur Tumelo Msiza (21) is set to make his mark in the fashion industry through his own clothing brand, Nephesh.
The brand was officially launched in October 2019.
“I have always wanted a brand. I just didn’t know where to start, until I started reading inspirational books and watching motivational videos on YouTube.
“The book that changed everything was ‘The Secret’, it taught me a lot about the law of attraction and how to implement the visualisation technique, which is why my brand is affiliated with it,” explains Msiza.
