Laduma said in a statement, “For creatives to transfer their creativity to society, it has to be an easy process. The passion for design and fashion started way back when I was 15 years old, when my late mother was alive and we had early aspirations of becoming design entrepreneurs. What attracted me to collaborate with Yoco was, for a lot of years, creatives have been struggling to collect income from consumers, tech innovations are the ones that make it easy in order for their businesses to thrive and become successful. Yoco has done good business if entrepreneurs are successful, seeing where we are right now it only makes sense.”
