Entrepreneur Spotlight ✨
Meet Thelmah Judith (Wakanaka) Chibvonge, a 25-year-old Zimbabwean entrepreneur born in Chegutu. Her journey into entrepreneurship began at just 16 while attending Hermanus High School in Hermanus, Western Cape, South Africa.

As a self-taught makeup artist, Thelmah entered an entrepreneurship competition hosted by Grootbos Foundation, where her beauty business idea won her funding to purchase her first professional makeup kit—the start of her beauty career.

Through live videos and makeup tutorials on social media, she built her brand and began offering one-on-one makeup lessons, later strengthening her expertise by completing short courses at a beauty institute.

Today, Thelmah continues to grow in the beauty industry, inspiring young women to turn their passion into purpose and business. 💄✨
