2017 PETCO Awards - PET-trepreneur
Published on by Janine Osborne, Stakeholders Relations Manager at PETCO
This award recognises an individual whose entrepreneurial insight, ingenuity and perseverance has created and sustained a successful, growing business venture in the PET collection or recycling industry.
After resigning her job at the end of 2015, Nokubonga decided to start collecting recyclables. Today, she has more than doubled her monthly income and, with the support of her husband, operates her business from home just outside Empangeni in KZN.
