South African entreprene­ur brings new faces to the doll market

- By Lu Anqi

Molemo Kgomo was a frustrated mother back in 2005. The search for an attractive African doll for her young daughter to play with would always leave her empty handed. It was the very frustratio­n that lit the spark for her business idea.

In the same year, the South African entreprene­ur started Ntomb’enhle Dolls. Ntomb’enhle means “beautiful girl” in Zulu and the range of dolls represents South Africa and its neighborin­g countries.

Today, what began as a desire to provide her daughter with an African doll she could relate to is a growing business with customers around the world.
