“We Try Again,” Lekau Sehoana Brings Back DRIP Footwear
“We Try Again,” Lekau Sehoana Brings Back DRIP Footwear. Lekau Sehoana without a doubt has a never say die attitude. He is set in returning DRIP Footwear back to business after it got liquidated a few years back.
Drip Footwear, established by Sehoana in 2019, rose to prominence quickly, becoming a symbol of homegrown success. The brand resonated deeply with South Africans, particularly in the township economy, offering stylish, affordable footwear to the masses. The High Court in Johannesburg issued a liquidation order after an application by Wideopen Platform, a company specializing in large-scale advertising, claimed that Drip had failed to settle a R20 million bill for advertising services. The financial strain on Drip has become a high-profile case, marking a significant moment in the rise and challenges of a once-celebrated local brand.
After this, Sehoana, ventured into other business interests. In 2024, the multi-award winning entrepreneur launched a new company, Ubuhle Bendalo Investments. In October 2025, he introduced another sneaker brand, KITE. Now he is bringing DRIP back, and it;s all systems go. Open vacancies are being advertised, in a new store in Pretoria. The good thing is that KITE will still be running.
“It’s an honour to be able stand back up again and say “i fell apart, and I survived” And the logo rises again. We try again,” Sehoana said.
