ABOUT SAMMY MHAULE
I started my entrepreneurial journey started when I was just 14 years old. I started selling ice cream in the streets of Tembisa township in South Africa where I grew up. As a child growing up, I was met with several challenges including poverty. To receive a new pair of shoes from my parent, the wait was almost six months as siblings had to take turns. My parents struggled to financially support me and my three siblings which is why I started my ice-cream business in the first place. It felt natural to start a global footwear company The KICKS Brand (KICKS) to make sure that footwear is accessible to everyone, and no one must go without a pair of shoes. As challenging as it was to start KICKS, backing down and giving up are never options I can contemplate. The company had no capital or funding, so I had to sell my car and house to start Kicks. I believe that before you invite others to invest in you, you should become the first one to do so in whatever small way you can. He believes in a \"hands-on approach\" which is a contributing factor to the success of all KICKS\'s undertakings.KICKS was first introduced in South Africa as KICKS Sportswear, later rebranded and introduced in the UK as The KICKS Brand as a form of pop-up store to gain customer interaction with the brand. At KICKS when one buys a pair of shoes, the company donates a pair of school shoes to a poor child in Africa.
