From Herbal Roots to TrendHive – My Story as Lekeleli Komane

From Herbal Roots to TrendHive – My Story as Lekeleli Komane

Hey family,

If you’ve stepped into TrendHive.org.za, you already know the vibe: pure, potent, no-nonsense herbal power in every jar. But behind the Moringa, Shilajit, and Lion’s Mane is one woman who’s been obsessed with the healing magic of plants for as long as she can remember.

I’m Lekeleli Komane – healthcare activist, serial entrepreneur, and unapologetic lover of everything that grows in the earth and actually works.

I didn’t wake up one day and decide to sell supplements. This journey started way back in the dusty streets and lush gardens of my childhood, watching my grandmother grind moringa leaves, boil rooibos, and press aloe straight from the plant for whatever ailed us. Those weren’t just remedies – they were love, wisdom, and power passed down in mortar and pestle.

Fast forward, and I became the woman who couldn’t walk past a health store without flipping every label, asking “where did this come from?”, “has it been tested?”, “is it strong enough to actually feel?” I was tired of watered-down “wellness” trends, greenwashed bottles, and products that looked pretty but did nothing.

I’m a healthcare activist at heart because I believe real medicine often grows quietly in soil long before it’s bottled in a lab. I believe South Africans deserve access to the same high-potency roots, resins, and herbs that the rest of the world is raving about – without the insane import markups or questionable quality.

So I built TrendHive.

Every single product on the site is something I use myself, something I give to the people I love most, something backed by both ancient tradition and modern third-party testing:

  • Moringa grown under African sun for clean, all-day energy
  • Pure Himalayan Shilajit resin because fulvic acid is non-negotiable
  • Ashwagandha KSM-66 when life tries to steal your peace
  • Lion’s Mane fruiting bodies (never mycelium) for that crystal-clear focus
  • Tongkat Ali root extract for anyone ready to reclaim their fire

This isn’t a side hustle. This is my activism in action – making the strongest, cleanest, most transparent natural products available to every South African home, delivered in 1–3 days, with zero drama.

TrendHive is my way of saying: your body already knows how to heal, how to thrive, how to feel incredible. Sometimes it just needs the right roots.

So welcome to the hive. Thank you for trusting the plants, and for trusting me to bring them to you pure and proud.

Here’s to stronger roots, brighter days, and health that feels like home.

With love and endless gratitude, Lekeleli Komane Founder & Keeper of the Hive TrendHive.org.za 🌿✨
