Sechaba Sehlage Mogale Biography: Sechaba Mogale is the co-owner of the successful streetwear label, Loxion Kulca. Born and raised in Lusaka, Zambia, Sechaba came to South Africa to finish his matric. After a few disappointing attempts to study both locally and abroad, Sechaba found himself without a job. At the time Sechaba had dreadlocks and Wandi, who would later become his business partner, was bald. They both wore woolen hats, which they bought from ladies in downtown Johannesburg. People began to notice their headwear and would literally buy the hats off their heads. Demand for the hats grew and in the winter of 1998 Sechaba and Wandi officially started their business.
Needing some business guidance, Sechaba and Wandi approached Mr. Brian Abrahams. Mr. Abrahams supported their vision of creating South Africa's first real urban brand that would go up against any brand, be it local or international and agreed to teach them the business. In April 1999 Loxion Kulca was officially launched at Club 206. After many years of hard work, sweat and tears, Sechaba is very proud to be part of a multi-million Rand business that continues to grow in leaps and bounds. Loxion Kulca produces men's and ladies headwear, a men's casual and semi-formal line, eyewear, cell phone accessories, men's and ladies footwear (active/semi-formal) and, soon to be launched, underwear and a fragrance.
