I am not sure if my herbal product manufacturing business would have existed if I did not get sick to an extent that no one could help heal me.

I was sick for 14years without help from all sorts of healing methods. I have been to Doctors, I have been to Sangomas, I have been to Christians to pray for me and I have performed customary activities but did not get healed.

After I had a hair cut in May 2000, I developed soars on my scalp that lasted for 14years without getting healed. In 2012 I stopped seeing doctors and other healers after the dermatologist told me I will not be healed and will go to the grave with soars on my head. I July 2014 I was diagnosed to have diabetes and high blood pressure. At that time I realised the having these diseases means end of my life. It was at this time something reminded me that I am a chemist and I have learned that herbal products re good in controlling many diseases and started immediately doing the research to get something that will help.

I then discovered the my first product that I named Obee’s HPS which today I am confidently marketing to selling to many people in South Africa and to some extent to other countries through agents. The product also did wonders to those people. Today we are supplying 381 pharmacies and 40 health and beauty shops with our products.

It is not because of my brilliant thinking, I think God wanted me to do this hence allowed me to be sick first to realise the need to help myself and other and he immediately created a pressure at work at that time and I found myself having no good terms with my management and resulted in me resigning and starting this branch of herbal products manufacturing and selling.

Remember herbal healing has been in existence from time immemorial.

Thank you very much, that is my story
