Big Moves With Sonto Pooe On Building NativeChild's Legacy, From Skincare To Stadiums

Fresh and Thato profiled Sonto Pooe, who turned a plant-based skincare brand into a movement. The guys spoke to the NativeChild Founder and 2026 Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman finalist about scaling a proudly South African brand internationally, funding township schools with uniforms and tablets since 2024, and her first-ever community event called the Power Up Games, an 8km/5km run at UJ Stadium that took place this past Saturday, where every ticket funded a school.
