Like all the best ideas, Ludwick Marishane’s was a simple one. Why bath if you can rub cleansing lotion on your body instead?
But, like all the best ideas, the simplicity ended there. It took him four years to develop the world’s first germicidal bath-substituting gel, DryBath – a task he juggled while completing matric and a business science degree. As a result, he’s been named one of the 12 brightest young minds in the world by Google, was judged the best student entrepreneur on the planet at the Global Student Entrepreneur awards, and is South Africa’s youngest patent holder.
