Agoa scores a hole in one for new exporter

Leonard Neill FROM TV presenter to exporter of sports apparel may appear great distances apart, but Colin Nathan has taken the journey with the opportunities offered by AGOA foremost in mind. Nathan is best known for presenting night shows on SABCTV1. In a different setting he is engaged in operating a personal training gymnasium in Johannesburg, frequented by a range of businessmen including attorneys and transport operators, with a number of sportsmen utilising the facility. From this emerged a plan with a business partner to develop a range of contemporary sports clothing, for use, as he puts it, 'on and off the field of play.' Golf merchandise will head the list of products targeted for the US market. The opportunities offered under AGOA are making a tremendous appeal to the 'Hotbox' range, says Nathan.
