Kwenzi, the founder of @indonifashionhouse embodies real resilience.
From growing up in a nunnery to enduring years of doubt and hurtful voices, she faced challenges that could have broken her - but she turned that pain into purpose 🪡
Now, she brings that same calm to the chaos of entrepreneurship.
Indoni Fashion House is more than a brand - it’s living proof of her strength, creativity and unwavering identity 💛

Entrepreneurship lives at the intersection of creativity and courage. 🎨 💪
That’s why we’re proud to sponsor Making iT! 2026. We're even prouder to be showcasing the powerful work of celebrated Ndebele artist @sophienosinkymahlangu_ at our stand. Her art is more than expression. It’s a legacy of craft, culture and resilience where everyday materials become bold statements of identity and economic empowerment.
Because across South Africa, makers aren’t just creating beautiful things. They’re building businesses. They’re shaping communities. They’re carving out their own path.
By partnering with the craft and design community, we aim to support entrepreneurs who are turning passion into sustainable businesses. Because when makers are Made to Make it, they deserve tools that help them thrive.

The first move, the tough calls, turning almost nothing into something — it all takes courage.
And sometimes, what matters most is being in a room full of people who get it.

Through the iKhokha Maker Grant, we're giving 46 makers free tickets to join the conversation through an open application for people building businesses, ideas and the future of South African entrepreneurship.
