Businessman and Drip Footwear founder Lekau Sehoana announces the closure of the children’s clothing store, Kiddies Republic, which he launched in 2022.
Sehoana made the announcement in a statement shared on Wednesday, June 14.
The first Kiddie Republic store was opened on July 30, 2022, at The Mall of the North in Polokwane, Limpopo, with plans to open more stores across the country.
According to the statement, the business was “not financially viable”, thus the difficult and unfortunate decision to close its doors or undergo a liquidation process. “All stakeholders were informed by management of the liquidation and subsequent appointment of the liquidators,” read the statement.
Moreover, “The decision to liquidate the entity was made independently from any other entity managed by Mr. Lekau Sehoana.”
The statement further revealed that “The Kiddies Republic company is a separate entity from the other entities managed by the CEO, Mr Lekau Sehoana, Drip Footwear is a separate entity from The Kiddies Republic.”

This comes after Sehoana slammed claims made by his estranged wife, Lebohang Machaba, labeling him”a “deadbeat.”
Machaba who reportedly insists she is entitled to 50% of Sehoana’s footwear business empire, claims he kicked her out of their home and doesn’t take care of their son.
In a reported interview with Zimoja, Sehoana said that his estranged wife is well taken care of.
“Lebohang Machaba is taken care of. I send her R50 000 every month. She stays under my roof at Waterfall Estates, she is under my medical aid.
I bought her a BMW X6M sports, which cost R2 million. These claims are just lies she’s feeding the media to destroy me.”
