Soweto Ink was established to help train African tattoo artists whilst also expanding their culture. As it has for co-founder Sibisiso Dlamini’s younger brother, Head Artist Sbonelo. He shares, “What makes it special to work at Soweto Ink, I would say, is because we specialise on black skin. ” And, even more importantly, the team is willing to teach and share with others in the industry as well. For Sbonelo, driven by the love of art, job satisfaction is seeing a client walk out happy.

To help grow what’s become the biggest, black-owned, professional tattoo shop in Africa, the gents turned to a bank who does the essentials best. Proud Capitec merchant, Ndumiso, tells us, “The reason I joined Capitec is because of their efficient app use. As a person that travels a lot, I don’t really have much time to be going to the branches or to the banks, so I can easily access my transactions online and pay people.” He says Capitec are the right fit for their brand, because they too have broken the mould by offering complete convenience and simplicity in banking. He adds that their low transactional fees have gone a long way to support and help the running of their daily operations, assist with the execution of their expansion so far, and to encourage further growth.
