Thapelo Mokoena has ventured into another business and announced Tik Tok star Sipho “Alphi” Mkhwanazi as the new brand ambassador for his new beard grooming range. 

Taking to his Instagram timeline recently the businessman and actor shared the news with his followers. 

“An amazing PR day with my King , champion voice & entertainer Alphi Sipho From the day I saw you on the socials I knew your beard belonged to the Bakoena Beard Care Range I’m grateful today that your energy, vibe & drive represents & champions at Bakoena brands first grooming product .

In 2021 his wine company, Bosman Nero, was nominated for Best Launch and Intro into the market at the 2021 Drinks Business Awards in the UK. He told TshisaLIVE that his entrepreneurial journey was heading in the direction that he wanted it to go. 

“The wine business has been a dream for me. I invested in a wine farm and a wine company ... It shows the power of resilience ... for me just being recognised as the best brand to come into the liquor market in the UK from the African soil is incredible.”

Alphi told SowetanLIVE that he decided to quit his job as the head of communication and marketing for South National Parks after seven months.

“There was just so much work to do on both fronts. Traditional work required me to give my all while my other dream also required so much from me. I couldn’t balance both of them,” he told Time Out this week.
