Meet Neo Marishane, (left) is a former learner at Isipho Sethu LSEN School who has defied the odds. In 2024, he took part in the Maseti Luzipho Foundation’s Soap and Detergent Skills Development Training Programme—an initiative aimed at empowering intellectually disabled persons with practical and income-generating skills.
Fast forward to today, Neo is the proud owner of Neo Detergents, a growing business based in Katlehong. What started with dishwashing liquid has now expanded in the first quarter of 2025 to include car shampoo and wax, tile cleaner, and thick bleach.
We are incredibly proud to see individuals like Neo stepping into entrepreneurship, making their mark, and proving that talent knows no limits. His journey is not just inspiring—it’s a testament to what can happen when inclusion meets opportunity.
Well done, Neo! The future of detergent manufacturing just got a lot more exciting!
