Adventure in Soweto with the Pooe brothers
When you come up with a truly original business idea, the reaction you most want to hear is ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’. Two brothers who did just that are Kgomotso and Suping Pooe, who figured that what Soweto needed most was quadbiking, paintball and go-karting.
They bought their first eight quadbikes, which proved such a magnet of interest that in no time they’d built a trusted relationship within the community, empowered local businesses and giving outsiders a unique view and grassroots tour of South Africa’s most popular township turned city.
What Standard Bank appreciate about this enterprise is that the unconventional thinking behind it didn’t need to reinvent the wheel – just relocate it. The brothers saw an existing market for these adventures in the suburbs. They put that together with the demand for activities in Soweto. They factored in the established interest of young, fun, foreign tourism in this city and they went for it.
Join Chris this week as he challenges Kgomotso and Suping to a round of go-karting and paint balling, as he experiences a Soweto full of adventure.
