"I had to say where ever you are and where ever you are from. Khwampha is a statement of pride that a person expresses to describe a place they like and are attached to. The demand from people asking me to make them their own gear made me register Khwampha as a brand in August 2018 and that is when I started mass production.
"I used social media as an advertising platform that created a even bigger demand . Our customers have been ordering directly from whatsapp and from our Facebook page.
I have went on to open an online store www.khwampha.com the website is still under construction. I will also Launch Khwampa in Bulawayo in due course." Concluded Gumede.
