Tlotlokgolo Business Investments Pty Ltd which trades as Mighty House of soap is a waste recycling and manufacturing enterprise that collects used cooking oil from local food establishments and repurposed into multipurpose bar soaps and other cleaning products. Incentives are offered to those contributing the used cooking oil, helping them to bolster their businesses. In June 2023 Mighty house of soaps expanded to manufacturing a biological cleaning product. The adoption of biological cleaning products has been steadily increasing in South Africa over the last decade, driven by growing awareness of the environmental impact of traditional cleaners
