Entrepreneur Koketso Mataboge is making waves in the natural health beverage space through her company Keorapetse Matabs Pty Ltd, which produces fresh immune-supporting juices branded as “Smoothy.”
Originally born in Mamelodi, Koketso later grew up in Mabopane and is now based in Soshanguve, where she launched her juice business in March 2025.
Her brand focuses on naturally blended juices designed to support immunity and overall wellness, produced fresh daily to ensure quality and nutritional value.
The Smoothy range currently comes in three flavours:
-
Carrot & Ginger Smoothy – a powerful immune-boosting combination
-
Pumpkin Juice Smoothy – rich in nutrients and natural antioxidants
-
Pear & Grape Smoothy – a refreshing fruit blend packed with vitamins
Among the three, Carrot & Ginger has quickly become the most popular flavour in the market, gaining strong demand from customers looking for a natural daily health boost.
Inspired by Family Wisdom
The idea behind the business was inspired by Koketso’s upbringing. Her mother and late father often prepared natural home-made health concoctions using vegetables and fruits to help with flu, eyesight challenges, and headaches, especially as they grew older.
Seeing the benefits of these traditional remedies, Koketso decided to modernise the concept for a younger and health-conscious market, transforming those homemade mixtures into convenient and nutritious smoothies.
