The Founders
Meet
the
Mbewe sisters
There are different sentiments in the entrepreneurial world when it comes to Sibling
partnerships.
Whiile some would say that due to the long-term relationship and bond, it’s the best
and strongest partnership, others would advise to avoid it at all cost; as it is
hard to separate family from business.
Whatever the case, these two sisters
have taken up the challenge and are proving to be quite the dynamic duo in the
Events industry.
Meet Musanjama “Sanji” Mbewe Nyalugwe and Munkokola “KoKo”
Mbewe , Co-owners of Ties & Knots Events, a creative food, décor and
Events planning company.
"Just the Two of us, Sister Sister things!"
Musanjama "Sanji" Mbewe Nyalugwe
Born into a family of three, Sanji is the oldest of the ladies and middle child. She
describes herself as; friendly, ambitious, Focused, hardworking and a self-motivated
individual. One who once sets mind to something, must see it through.
She is a
wife and mother of two beautiful girls as well as a Natural-hair advocate.
“I am passionate about Interior and exterior decor as well as design. I enjoy
cooking, baking and trying out new recipes. I strongly believe in value adding
conversations and using my time positively and productively”.

business sides of life
Munkokola "Koko" Mbewe
KoKo on the other hand, is the youngest of the ladies and the last born child in the
family. Well known by the family for her kitchen dance moves and cookouts, she
describes herself as a self-driven individual who always keeps pushing even when
faced with the toughest of challenges. She is bubbly and always looking to learn new
things and advance her knowledge in various aspects.
“I believe you can never know too much. There is always room for something new you
can learn. Being passionate about food, I find myself watching all sorts of food
channels, it is kind of ridiculous I know, but it’s all a ploy to improve my cooking
skills and clients experience with our food”.
Also, an Accountant by profession, she manages to juggle between her role as an
accountant in the professional world and being a co- owner of the business, without
having them overlap.
