MaRocks Laundry Services, located at Tshing in Ventersdorp, North West, was established by four young graduates who were faced with the plight of unemployment. One of the partners, Tsholofelo Moeng, said they refused to allow unemployment to discourage them. In 2021, they organised themselves and started the laundry services. At the time, the business offered washing, folding and ironing services. “The business is growing rapidly — offering additional services such as drying and packaging of linen, curtains, blankets and sneakers at affordable prices with extended hours from Monday to Saturday,” she said.

The success of the business was thanks to grant funding of over R200 000 from the National Development Agency (NDA).
