WHENEVER Malakia Ravhuhali (35) went home to Venda in Limpopo from Tembisa, Ekurhuleni, his colleagues and friends would ask him to bring them some herbs to help them with their low libido and 4-5 problems.
This made Malakia to think that there was an opportunity to start a business selling herbs, with mpesu (sex muthi) being in demand.
Now Malakia sells mpesu herbs to men struggling in bed and also tea for women who have a low libido.
He started his business in 2021 and it’s booming.
He said he learnt about the herbs while growing up in Venda.
"Some people say they don’t last long in bed because they ejaculate too quickly. The mpesu herbs make people strong in bed and they can take up to 40 minutes for a round of sex," he claimed.
He said he becomes happy and proud when customers say their problems have been fixed.
He said he still does his regular job and makes money on the side with the herbs.
“People order herbs and I make sure that I deliver them.
“Mpesu is most effective when taken with mageu and other dairy products,” he said.
Customer Tshepo Rapoo (42) said he was starting to lose his confidence because his 4-5 would go to sleep at the wrong time. “Women left me because they thought there was something wrong with me. I thought there was no turning back until I used this mpeso. I am now able to last longer in bed,” he said.
A woman said she used the tea once and her boyfriend was happy.
“I was unsure at first, but then I bought the tea.
“My boyfriend couldn’t stop complimenting me on how our sex has improved,” she said.
Malakia advertises his herbs on social media.
