Business Dynamics and Challenges
Business Activities:
The owner of the business, Motshidisi Julia Mokoena, began selling clothes in 2003 after completing her school studies while residing in Tweeling. She would sew clothes and stock others for resale, becoming popular in the process. She later moved to Frankfort, continuing similar operations, and formally registered her business in 2019. This is how CLASSY FASHION FOR YOU Pty Ltd was formed. The business, based in the town of Frankfort, operates from a rented building and has been in operation for five years now. Motshidisi’s aim is to give women confidence in what they wear, catering to their different needs. The business sells seasonal formal and casual clothes for women, ranging from teenagers to adults. In December 2023, the business received asset and equipment support valued at R10,000, including a sewing machine and a gazebo, which have been very helpful.
