On image: Founder of SkeenDip, Rachel Mkhondo. Six months can feel like a heartbeat in business time, or a lifetime, depending on how deliberately a venture is built. Walking into SkeenDip’s new premises in Rivonia, Sandton, it was hard to believe the spa has only been operating for half a year there. The space carries the quiet confidence of a business that looks five years of operations - secure, polished, immaculately clean and thoughtfully designed. Nothing feels rushed o

On image: Founder of Blossom Bounty, Somila Mbali. Some of the most compelling business stories don’t begin in boardrooms or pitch decks; they begin in unexpected conversations. That was exactly the case when I met Somila Mbali, founder of Blossom Bounty, at a recent networking event. What started as light dialogue quickly evolved into a deeper exchange about purpose, creativity, and building something meaningful from the ground up. By the end of that discussion, it was clear

Imagine finding a wife or husband and a business partner in your person and building with them in and out of the house to make your lives better. The language may be the same, even when minds differ, but the shared excitement is unmistakable. That is the energy that greets you when you sit down with David and Nicole, the lovely young couple behind My Hometown Café, two entrepreneurs whose partnership feels

Images supplied. Listen, it all started the way most beautiful discoveries do these days, with a late-night scroll. Somewhere between breaking news and fleeting trends, an image stopped me mid-swipe. A Stillness. A vlei catching the last light of day. A horizon that didn’t beg for attention but earned it. I clicked. Then I clicked again. And again. As I continued clicking, I realized this is not just another accommodation page. It felt like a place and yes, it is. The kind th

The two traditional ones that are currently used to provide retirees with an income from their retirement savings are a guaranteed life annuity and a living annuity. However, when it comes to choosing a sustainable retirement income solution that will allow you to retire with confidence, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and managing the reti

The Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber has expressed concerns of a growing risk of de-industrialization unless urgent, coordinated action is taken to stabilize the operating environment for manufacturers and the surrounding supporting eco-system. Addressing the Chamber’s media press conference, Chief Executive Officer Denise van Huyssteen said the current moment demands speed, collaboration, policy certainty and action, stressing that no single institution ca

Moments from the first instalment of the Women’s Circle Workshop in 2026. The first edition of the Women’s Circle Workshop for 2026 opened the year on a high note, sold out, purposeful, and quietly powerful. Hosted yesterday at the Beach Hotel in Gqeberha, the gathering set a clear tone for the months ahead: start as you mean to finish.

On image: Managing Director of Media Seven, Bronwen Nel. Our 2026 started with music on the background, and if you are someone who loves and knows what good music does when you either waking up, taking a shower, or just cleaning your room or pushing your admin, you would understand why The Konvenient theme song is a very good gift from one of our media friends. And yes, this led to our curiosity about what led to this production and how we can spread the word on how brands c

Images supplied. Showing up ready digitally is what every person should be from now on, regardless of personal use, work, or an entrepreneurial journey. Being ready  is no longer an advantage, it is the standard. The tools, platforms and guides are widely available, often free, and constantly evolving. There are, quite frankly, no excuses. The digital footprint you build today should serve not just the moment you are in, but the future you are stepping into, one far more inte

On image: The duo behind the innovative payment ring brand, Jake Pinkus and Lawrence Baker.. At The Konvenient Magazine, we’ve always believed that innovation only matters when it reaches people, when it makes life easier, smoother, and more inclusive. Great ideas lose their power when they remain niche, misunderstood, or inaccessible. And in a world moving as fast as ours, no one should be left behind when solutions already exist to make everyday living better.   That belie

On image : Founder of P4Purpose, Prudence Munyayi. Uncertain times often lead us to search for answers, and more often, for reminders of who we are, what we believe, and what anchors us when the world feels unrecognizable. For Prudence Munyayi, jewellery became exactly that, a quiet but constant reminder of identity, faith and purpose.

Not enough to stop life, just enough to make you listen.   I finally got hold of Lucia on a slightly rainy morning, the kind that hangs gently over the city. After a day of moving between errands, responsibilities, and people, she finally sat down. As a people’s person, a mover and shaker, Lucia is always in motion, always showing up for someone or something. But when we found a quiet

Long before we spoke, the brand had already made its presence felt through clean visuals, thoughtful silhouettes, and a sense of intention that cut through the noise of social media. There was nothing performative about it, just consistency and confidence. It felt like one of those stories that had bee

On image: Brand artwork. After an hour-long drive to a festive-season event, somewhere between laughter, traffic pauses and reflections on life, Lunathi Tahirih Fudu’s story unfolded so naturally that it demanded to be written. It was one of those conversations that took over, not because it’s loud, but because it’s honest. By the time we arrived, it was clear that Graceful Earth Organic Skincare is not just a new business, it is a lived philosophy, carried by a humble go-get
