Style, resilience, and rising opportunity

Today we celebrate Pontšo Mohapi, the visionary behind Hloaeles Bales, as she shines as one of the winners in the BAM Group Foundation Cohort Programme.

Through this journey of learning, growth, and business development, Pontšo has been awarded a M5000 loan to expand her Grade A second-hand clothing business, bringing quality, affordable fashion closer to her community.

Her win is a testament to the power of consistency, determination, and believing in humble beginnings. She is not just selling clothes, she is building confidence, accessibility, and opportunity.

At BAM Group Foundation, we celebrate women who continue to learn, evolve, and uplift their communities through business.

Women rising, legacies growing.

Today we also celebrate the incredible mother-daughter duo, Mpine Kekana and Matšepang Kekana of Ts'epo Productions , proud winners in the BAM Group Foundation - Cohort 2026.

Through their passion for natural wellness, crafting teas and juices from powerful ingredients like prickly pear, rosehip, and ginger, they have turned tradition into a thriving business.

Their win is more than recognition, it is a celebration of generational strength, collaboration, and the power of women building together.

At BAM Group Foundation, we continue to champion women who dare to dream, create, and uplift their communities. And Tsepo Productions is a beautiful example of just that.
