Madidimalo Sasebula is the founder and Manager of Kathu industrial and chemical supplies based in Northern Cape Kathu at Kameeldoring Plein shopping center (checkers). Hailing from Limpopo Musina, her company is fast becoming known as the go to supplier for guest houses, Kathu solar park, Rooisand Beltong, Boitsweletso cleaning services, Lohatla SA defence force and households around the area. Kathu industrial and chemical supply was established in 2017. Speaking on why she decided to start her company Madidimalo said; “I decided to start the cleaning and chemical business after noticing the unhygienic conditions that people in this area are subjected to. In some of these areas people still use pit toilets.

Some areas have insufficient water,” she said while adding that she wanted to improve the lives of community members by supplying households with cleaning materials, industrial chemical, tools, brush ware, Sundry, floor care, tissue papers and PPE. As a newly established business, Madidimalo says it’s imperative to have an accountant and to refrain from using business money for personal needs. “It’s not easy running this company because I am also running a consulting company on the side, so my staff makes life easier for me. We buy and transport the products from Pretoria,” she said. “I am in the process of manufacturing my own chemicals and we have already bought the machine and underwent training to do the mixture ourselves. We are trained by Entrepreneur Resource warehouse based in Gauteng,” she stated.
