The Visionary Behind Biomuti Group

Serial entrepreneur, Tebogo Tlhopane is the founder and CEO of Biomuti Group, a healthcare business that specialises in complimentary medicine, including medicinal cannabis. He is also the Chairman of the Cannabis Traders Association, an organisation that strives to recognise and regulate cannabis related products for health and wellbeing, paving a way forward for this job creating sector.

Tebogo comes from a family of healers, both his Grandmother and Mother are Sangomas* and he grew up in South Africa surrounded by plant medicines. His earlier career took him into the technology space, developing software for communications and payment services. He pioneered the handheld payment device and, for a period of four years (2003-2007), he lived in China launching payment gateways. After that he spent over six years in Thailand, where he had a jewellery manufacturing business. He met his wife there and the couple have since settled in Johannesburg, South Africa with their children.

Tebogo finds his work with plant medicine to be the most rewarding he has ever done; seeing how it helps and changes people’s lives has kept him inspired to continue promoting products that can deliver these benefits to people.
