Global Student Entrepreneur of the Year 2011, Ludwick Marishane
Last year, the then 21year-old Ludwick Marishane of Cape Town, South Africa was named the 2011 Global Student Entrepreneur of the Year at the 2011 GSEA (Global Student Entrepreneur Awards), beating out 1,600 other student nominees from 42 countries. Marishane won the title for his product Drybath, the only non-water based bath substitute lotion for the whole body.
Marishane who is the founder of Headboy Industries Inc., ventured into business at the age of 18 – an age when most of his peers were thinking about getting into college, or joining the labor market.
Ludwick Marishane has an inquisitive and restless mind, when he was in 9th grade, he formulated his own biodiesel fuel, invented a healthy cigarette; and in 10th grade he authored a mobile dictionary and attempted to publish a nationwide security magazine, however, what actually brought him into the limelight was his invention of the first Drybath product in the world.
