How Mbali Maseko established her Nginyi Wines Company in South Africa in a male dominated industry.
The wine industry is dominated by men in South Africa. However, Mbali Maseko defied those odds to establish Nginyi Mbali wines, which is a new wine brand in South Africa. Her wines get their inspiration from the vines of Paarl in the Western Cape of South Africa.
For many years, the Cape wine lands have been producing the best vineyards globally. They boost to have wide array selection of grapes of the South African Origin. Nginyi takes the latter into account when making her wines. The company produces six varieties of wines. These include two Reds, two Red blends, a Chardonnay, and a Rose. Nginyi named the Rose wine Dakalo meaning happiness, her Cabernet Sauvignon is called Sebata, and Shiraz is referred to as Shoki.
The road to establish the winery was Nginyi childhood dreams. After tasting her first wine bottle when she turned 18, she researched the maker of the bottle- Robert Fraters. She met Robert for a mentorship that led to the establishment of the company. Having grown up close to her aunt Mamogolo who was a successful business woman, Nginyi got the opportunity to see the good and bad times in business.
Nginyi also got experience from the corporate world where she rose to managerial positions so quickly due to her hard work and discipline world. She holds bright future plans for the company.
In less than two months after establishing the company, she is planning to establish another range of products called Just Jane Can. The product will contain canned fruits, hams, vegetables, picked chillis, and more. She is also planning to start an apparel brand. It is ignited by the move by clients to want to buy the brands apparel products. She plans to produce five favourite items, which include backpacks, sweaters, sunglasses, watches, and more.
