Troylin founder dares to win

Driven by the passion to create employment, Tiroyamodimo told BusinessMonitor that they identified a gap in the manufacturing space as the rising COVID-19 cases threatened imports, especially from South Africa, which account for up to two-thirds of Botswana’s annual import bill. Using his savings, he opened a manufacturing company that offers training in the manufacturing of sandals, cosmetics, school shoes and drinks. The training takes between one to three days.

“Our country is heavily reliant on our neighbouring countries, especially South Africa when it comes to importing different products. When borders close, I saw an opportunity and decided to formulate a one-stop company where every product will be made,” he said.
