FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday, July 2, 2012,
MEERKAT GRIND CLOTHING TAKING ON SOUTH AFRICA
The
South African skateboarding industry is rapidly growing. From Cape
Town to Johannesburg and Durban to Kimberley
(which is the skate origin city). Such development is because of the growth of
interest not only in South
Africa but in the Southern Hemisphere. To
create this foundation phase in South
Africa a skateboard clothing company called Meerkat Grind is said to be the
organisation which will keep this movement blossoming. This company strives to
create a skate culture in South Africa
and maybe even Africa as a whole.
“We
want to establish ourselves as the biggest ambassadors for skate clothing and
apparel in South Africa”
said Thabang Mathapo and Tebogo Boloko, founders and official directors of the
company. This will not just become a clothing line of t-shirts and skateboards
but it will also become a state of mind
in the skate street culture of our target audience. We want our brand to create
a symbolic appearance for skateboarding in South Africa, the African continent
and hopefully the Southern Hemisphere.

We
would also like to position ourselves growing the industry by sponsoring
events, skaters, competitions and also working with other brands across the
border to help facilitate our quality of hosting events in South Africa.
Our t-shirts are dropping soon later this year and will range in different
colours and sizes. Our designers are experienced and are enthusiastic on the
feedback from the public. We are also open to work with other investors that
might have ideas on taking the brand abroad. We are confident that we will
satisfy the public, with a young and fresh outlook on the future of skate in Africa.
