“Your time is valuable, so we give you more time”

Reitumetse Mboweni and Thabo Zitha are enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about their Internet Café business, proudly called Retouch & Gourmet.

Thabo Zitha started the business in 2008 and registered in 2024 along with his assistant Reitumetse Mboweni. It is based in the small village of Klipgat in the Madibeng municipality of the North West Province.

Their entrepreneurship journey began when they opened a carwash and operated a food stall. When COVID-19 started, they had no choice but to close the business. It was after Covid that they opened the Internet Café.

At Retouch & Gourmet, you can find a wide range of services, including printing, scanning, fax sending, and creating email accounts for clients. The shop’s uniqueness is due to its high-quality internet connectivity and customer-friendly hours of operation. It is open Monday through Sunday and on public holidays. News of its remarkable service has reached all the rural areas around Klipgat.

Their target audience consists of community members, job seekers and students.

Their short-term goal is to obtain larger premises from where they can operate their business, while their long-term goal is to open branches of Retouch & Gourmet in other areas.

With their open-minded opinions, they are optimistic that if they could obtain food equipment, they would also be able to re-open their food business.
