About Us
The Background
Where It All Began
Tested Foods was founded by Thato Will Makhobela, a passionate South African entrepreneur dedicated to economic growth, youth empowerment, and community upliftment.
Previously known as Tested and Approved Trading Enterprise, the company was built on the belief that small and medium enterprises (SMMEs) are powerful drivers of financial relief and skills development in communities that were historically disadvantaged.
