Phatsima Organic: Turning Scientific Expertise into Nutritional Innovation

Phatsima Organic: Turning Scientific Expertise into Nutritional Innovation. Phatsima Organic is rapidly gaining recognition for its unique blend of science and nature, thanks to its founder, Ms. Phatsimo Matshediso—an accomplished analytical chemist and entrepreneur. Holding an MSc from the University of the Witwatersrand and degrees in Chemistry and Biology from the University of Botswana, she is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of South Africa.

Driven by her scientific background and a deep understanding of the health benefits of Moringa Oleifera, Ms. Matshediso established Phatsima Organic to address nutritional needs and promote wellness. The company is based at the Local Enterprise Authority (LEA) incubation centre in Pilane and focuses on adding value to natural resources through the production of high-quality moringa-based products.

Phatsima Organic’s product range includes moringa capsules, seed oil, bar soap, powdered tea, hair food, hand lotion, and face masks. The brand also offers infused teas such as lemongrass, apple and cinnamon blends, and the signature Moretologa juice—catering to both health-conscious consumers and those seeking effective natural cosmetics.

Moringa, often referred to as a “miracle plant,” is known for its exceptional nutrient profile, including higher concentrations of Vitamin C than oranges, more potassium than bananas, and more Vitamin A than carrots. These qualities have made Phatsima Organic’s products a sought-after choice for consumers prioritizing wellness.

Currently available at Square Mart, the PushaBW store at Sir Seretse Khama International Airport, and over 15 pharmacies nationwide, Phatsima Organic continues to grow its reach. The business also supports Sustainable Development Goals such as SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), highlighting its impact on both local industry and community health.
