Media personality and businesswoman Boitumelo “Boity” Thulo launched her alcohol brand, BT Signature in March 2021.

She recently posted pictures and videos, giving her followers a look inside her alcohol factory.

Announcing the business venture in 2021, she said BT Signature is a range of premium, superior-tasting alcoholic and non-alcoholic sparkling fruit beverages.

“We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams. Introducing the new kid on the block #BTSignature. Get yourself a bottle of BT Signature. It’s peachy, sparkling, it’s oh so tasty, and we’ve got a non alcoholic version too for the next four days,” she wrote on Instagram.

Post the launch, she told News24 that she had been working on her alcohol brand together with her partner, Matthew Krone, since 2019.

“At our very first meeting, we discussed the idea of developing a ‘ready to drink’ (RTD) product. I knew exactly what the market wanted, and Matthew has the skills to make it happen. So it was a match made in heaven,” she told the publication.

Boity’s hair products are created specifically for women with hair types three and four.

“Now more than ever, black women have started embracing their natural hair. But it didn’t come without struggle. Falling in love with our natural hair is a journey for many black women.

“Being a brand designed for powerful, modern African queens, a collaboration with Halo Heritage just felt like a natural fit,” Boity said.
