LOBATSE; Having benchmarked the process of running an upholstery business from his father three decades ago ago, 44-year-old Ratsela Sithole has perfected his skills in upholstery over the years despite having no technical experience in the field.

Lobatse-born Sithole crafts his products perfectly to furniture shops standards that one can be mistake them for imports.  Situated in a busy street of Woodhall 1 ward, his business attracts customers as far as distant districts in the southern part of the country.

Sithole said he started upholstery back in 1998 after learning from his late father.
