Drip Footwear CEO Lekau Sehoana has always been known for his innovative approach and deep connection to his roots.
To celebrate the 5th anniversary of his sneaker brand, Sehoana decided to host a pop-up store in the very shack where he grew up in Tembisa. This unique celebration was a nod to his humble beginnings and a testament to his journey of success.
On Friday, Lekau Sehoana made an exciting announcement about the pop-up store event. He invited everyone to join him on the 27th of July 2024 at the Mafelandawonye informal settlement in Ivory Park.
He shared, “What if I told you that as part of our 5th year celebration, we have built a pop-up store inside the shack I grew up in. But wait, we have built the shack inside to launch what our future stores look like.” The event promised to be a memorable experience, with shuttle services available for convenience.
However, on Sunday morning, Sehoana revealed on the X platform that the shack had been broken into. In a surprising twist, he mentioned that he had anticipated this incident. He cleverly left books for the intruders, showcasing his foresight and wit.

You know, I had a feeling that would happen too but I didn’t want to say anything ‘cause you know how social media can get.
I’m curious though, what books did you leave them? 😅
